Bleeding in dog chicks may be caused by estrus, trauma, urinary system diseases, etc. The owner can observe the physical condition of the dog. If the dog is found to be urinating, howling, crawling and other symptoms at the same time, it may be bleeding caused by frequent friction during estrus. Secondly, if it is found that the dog is simply bleeding, then consider that the bleeding is caused by trauma. Finally, if your dog is found to be accompanied by symptoms such as frequent urination, painful urination, lethargy, and loss of appetite, it is likely to be suffering from a urinary system disease and requires timely medical attention.

1. In estrus

Dogs usually go into estrus when they are 7-8 months old. Affected by hormones in the body, when male dogs are in estrus, they will rub the floor, table, etc. Using items to vent your emotions can easily lead to genital injuries and bleeding. In this regard, the owner can observe whether the dog has other symptoms, such as urinating, howling, crawling behavior, etc. If so, the dog is most likely in estrus. The owner can choose to breed the dog or Go to a pet hospital for neutering surgery.

2. Trauma

If the dog’s external genitalia is scratched by some sharp hard object or injured in a fight outside, it will cause bleeding. The owner can check whether there are obvious wounds on the dog's genitals. If a wound is found and the condition is not serious, he can use clean gauze to press to stop the bleeding, and apply antibacterial and anti-inflammatory ointment to treat it. But if the situation is serious, you need to go to a pet hospital for treatment in time.

3. Urinary system diseases

If the dog suffers from urinary system diseases, such as urinary stones, urinary tract infection, cystitis, etc., it may cause blood to flow out. Owners can observe the dog’s urination. If the dog is found to have symptoms such as frequent urination, painful urination, lethargy, loss of appetite, etc., then it is necessary to focus on urinary system problems, and it is recommended to take the dog to a pet hospital for treatment in time.
