My dog has bright red blood from mouth, but acts normal. What's wrong?

Question

My dog has had some blood,bright red in colour,coming from his mouth since yesterday. It’s not a lot,and it’s intermittent. Just a few drops,then it stops,then hours later, a few more drops. He is eating and drinking normally,and is also behaving normally. Does not seem to be in any pain. Pet's info: Dog | Jack Russell Terrier | Male | neutered | 9 years and 11 months old

Unless you are able to examine Razzoo's mouth and can identify normal tissue vs diseased tissue (and find the obvious cause), I recommend to have Razzoo examined today by the veterinarian. Blood can indicate a wound, something stuck in the tissue, a diseased tooth, a ruptured oral tumor or even a bleeding disorder. It is very important to diagnose the appropriate cause of the bleeding. Best of luck.
