Our 6mo old male is loosing his baby teeth. It seen though his gums are bleeding quite a bit. The blood is getting on his toys. Is this normal?

Hi and Welcome to YT!

Some bleeding would be normal when losing teeth. It does show on their toys when they chew on them... my suggestion would be to remove any hard toys that could exacerbate the problem and only allow him to play with soft toys until he heals.
If you still notice what you think is excessive bleeding, you should call your vet.

I rolled up some old socks for him to play fetch with. It seemed to work pretty well.
