When not urinating, light red liquid drips out, not bright red but pale red or deep pink, drop by drop, not during urination; it licks it, normal energy, yellow urine, drinks and eliminates a lot.

A ten-year-old female dog dripping blood from the genital area first needs heat ruled out, since females in season show swelling and bleeding. Next consider uterine disease such as pyometra, which is common in unspayed females of this age, and finally urethritis or a broken blood spot in the urethra.

It is best to take the dog to a vet for basic tests, then treat based on results; basic tests include blood count and CRP for inflammation plus ultrasound of the uterus, bladder, and urethra.
