My dog's tumor is bleeding profusely. How do I stop the bleeding?

Question

I want you to know how much I appreciate your services and your moral support has been a life saver, both for me and my Sweetie. Of late, she is responding well to care, eating and drinking well. Her tumor almost dried up with minimal discharge and clean with dressings every day. Since last night suddenly her tumor started bleeding profusely with drops and small clots of blood from the "holes" caused in tumor abrasions. Dressing is wet. I called a home vet, but can u suggest something plz? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Female | unspayed | 10 years and 5 months old | 64 lbs

Hello, thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. I am glad we can give you some assistance! I am not familiar with your previous questions regarding Sweetie but if the tumor is ulcerated, that is not typically a good sign. It sounds like tumor needs to be removed surgically. It is a bit difficult to advise you without seeing the tumor myself and I'm not 100% sure what your question is exactly. You want us to suggest something meaning what? To apply topically to the tumor? For bandaging? To stop the bleeding? I'm not exactly sure what you are looking for. If the tumor is ulcerated she is most likely going to need to get some antibiotics. It is also very difficult to give you advice if we don't know your location. It does no good for us to recommend products that you cannot obtain in your area. Please post again with more information. Thank you.
