This is not normal and should be examined by a veterinarian. There are several potential causes, including bleeding lesions in the colon or rectum, infection in the large intestine, cancer or degenerative disease.

Rectal bleeding in dogs is caused by a problem in the colon, rectum, or anus. There may be parasites, tumors, proctitis, or just mild constipation. Problems associated with the rectum, which can cause bleeding, are a rectal polyp, rectal tear, or a tumor. However, some less severe reasons for this issue can be constipation and colitis.

it can be many things so get him to a vet ASAP. however, if your dog has diarrhea and is also bleeding from the rectum, the blood comes from the walls of the intestine. they become irritated and inflamed. as the intestinal wall inflames blood seeps into the intestine and is eliminated out of the rectum. this still requires a visit to the vet.

If the bleeding is truly coming from her rectum you should get her to your veterinarian immediately. This could be due to anything from a rectal-vagina fistula to anal gland carcinoma, and needs to be evaluated by a veterinarian.

Depending upon age, there are several possible reasons. In a young dog, I would first consider an intestinal infection or infestation with intestinal worms. In older dogs, my first concern would be cancer of the rectum, prostate or anal glands. Regardless of the cause, you should take your dog to a veterinarian for examination, as blood in the stool is not normal and can indicate some pretty nasty diseases that need treatment.

This is a medical problem that should be evaluated by a veterinarian. Causes can range from severe intestinal worm infestation to cancer, all of which would need evaluation and treatment by a veterinarian. This isn't a medical emergency (probably - unless the volume of blood is high), but an appointment in the next day or two would be wise.

oh easy and great question young one. If he or she is a female dog they are bleeding around the anal and vaginal region because of being in heat. If it's a male then he might have cut his bottom, sore bottom, or just popped one of his anal glands. You would know if he popped an anal gland because he would be scooting around the carpets (this goes for male and female dogs; all dogs have anal glands).

Usually, this means the dog is constipated.

The thing that I have done to help the dog is feed him a stick of butter (Yup a whole stick). It helps him go more easily.

When a dog bleeds from the anus, the term is called Hemorrhagic Gastroenteritis. It is caused by stress and hypertension and is found mostly in small dogs.
