My dog is bleeding on her behind. I’ve noticed she has had diarrhea. But i cannot tell if this is a cut or if it is something more severe.

It could be a burst anal abscess. It tends to bleed and ooze once it has ruptured. Please, take Macy to your local vets as, if it is the abscess indeed, she will need a course of antibiotics to get better.
