Mouth full of blood!

Okay I have a 5 month old pup and he is losing his teeth right and left. Today we were at the park and all of a sudden his green tennis ball turned RED and was covered with blood. It seems as though one his molars had fallen out and the area was bleeding. Is this normal?

Pretty normal when they lose a molar. The bleeding typically will stop within an hour unless the pup is still chewing on things then it takes longer.

As long as the airway isn't effected with massive amount of blood, your pup is acting normally, eating and drinking normally and it stops within an hour or so the pup should be fine HOWEVER, if your in doubt the very best advice you can get is by calling your vet.
