My puppy is almost 6 months and almost has all of her adult teeth but she is bleeding...?

Her mouth seems to be bleeding, is this normal when puppies get new teeth. I mean it isnt a lot of blood, we only realized when we were playing with her this evening, she picked up her ball and dropped it and there was blood. Is this normal. She is a golden retriever and lab mix
Answers:
It sounds like she lost a tooth. When our dog was a puppy we noticed that happening to her, but never saw a tooth. Our breeder said that dogs often swallow the baby teeth, and that it probably wriggled loose while playing. As long as it is in small amounts, and doesn't last long, it should be fine.
This is normal. The bleeding will stop quickly.
probably normal
Yes, this is normal. I've got a puppy that just finished getting his adult teeth, and he bled a little when he lost teeth. As long as it's not a lot of blood your puppy's just fine. (Remember, human children bleed when they lose teeth too).
Yes, and when she turns 12 months old you may have to start investing in some Dogpons. They are just like Tampons but they are adjusted for dogs once they hit puberty.

Definition: Dogpon-
the cloth item used to clog the uterus of a dog during the "heat" period. when a dog is going threw the gestation period she becomes bloody. this is not good for furniture, clothes or carpet. so to prevent the leakage one would use a dogpon. which is traditionally made of cotton,but if the user is allergic to such item it can get the rarer and more expensive shep skin dogpon.
She probably just lost a baby tooth on her ball. Usually they get swallowed and you don't see them. Check her mouth and see if you see a red spot on her gums. Very normal at this age.

Skip the "dogpon" and get her fixed. Never heard of this product and have worked in vet med for 10+ years. It sounds like a stupid and dangerous idea to me.
