Thank you for submitting your question regarding Sasha. Where is the blood coming from on her body? Does she have a wound? Is she having her heat cycle? Is there any chance that she consumed rat poison? The poison can result in a bleeding disorder in a dog. She will need to see a veterinarian. Rat poison ingestion is an emergency. If her heat cycle is heavier than normal, this needs to be investigated as well. Good luck!
