It sounds like Vivian needs to see her veterinarian. Urinating blood is never normal and could indicate a painful bladder infection or bladder stones. The snorting may not be related. Dogs can snort due to infection, allergies or something stuck in the nose. It’s impossible to say why is happening without being able to see or hear it. Sometimes people will describe a reverse sneeze like this. I recommend to watch some videos on you tube and see if that is what she is doing. Try to record to behavior so the veterinarian can see it. Have the doctor check that out as well. Encourage her to drink plenty of water as this may help the bladder to feel better. I hope this is helpful and please feel free to post any additional questions.
