Firstly, let's consider the ear issues you've mentioned. If the blood is coming from the ear, this could be due to an ear infection, ear mites, a foreign body lodged in the ear canal, or trauma to the ear, such as from scratching due to irritation. Gently examine the ear for any signs of redness, discharge, or odor. Clean the ear with a soft cloth and a vet-approved ear cleaner, being careful not to insert anything deep into the ear canal.

If the blood is present in the stool, this could indicate colitis, parasites, or a dietary indiscretion. Ensure your dog has access to fresh water and observe any changes in bowel movements. A bland diet, such as boiled chicken and rice, may help settle an upset stomach.

For blood in the urine, this could be a sign of a urinary tract infection, bladder stones, or other urinary tract issues. Make sure your dog is drinking plenty of water to help flush out her system.

In the case of blood from the nose, mouth, or other body parts, or if you're seeing blood without an obvious source, this is more concerning. It could be a sign of a clotting disorder, trauma, or a systemic issue.
