Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This could be due to many reasons. This could be due to a coagulation issue, a traumatic injury or even some form of skin disease. It is just not possible to know this without an examination and possibly some more basic diagnostics. I highly recommend that you have Lena evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment. They would be able to check these possibilities and treat accordingly. Good luck and have a great day!
