i have an 8yr-old long hair spayed doxie and she's the cutest thing ever! last thurs, i noticed she was licking her butt area excessively, and i looked at it, the hair there were clumped together in couple spots. i didnt pay too much attention to it since she licks herself from time to time. The next day i came home from work and saw alot of blood spots all over my living/dining room carpet, mostly very small spots like fingertips, with 2 larger ones like the size of a thumb. she was licking her butt alot again and i can smell the blood in her breath. She also pees on newspapers when we r not home, i saw small puddles of dried urine on newspaper with diluted blood stains. it happened on friday, so i wanted to wait until monday, if she's still bleeding then i would take her to the vet. But by monday, she's back to normal. no more bleeding but w/ occasional licking down there. I couldnt tell if it's from the #2 or #1 area.does anyone know what that was?should i still take her to the vet?

Yes, a trip to the vet would be a good idea whether you think she looks better or not.

Yes still take her to the vet to get her checked out, just in case!

I would say it is a UTI. She has an infection and should still see a vet for antibiotics.

First off you haven't said if she has been spayed or not.If she wasn't spayed it could be heat.If that were not the case,take her to the vet it could be serious.
