Hello, Welcome to YT! I have a little boy (dog!!!) who is 8months, and he gets very friendly with his toy caw and whale. I have never heard of bleeding from getting over excited. I would suggest that you get the vet and figure out what is going on. I hope your little buster is okay, and please do keep us updated!
I looked online and came up with this...It's probably not this, but it's just another reason to get your guy to the vet asap!

von WILLEBRAND'S DISEASE - vWD

Von Willebrand's Disease is the name given to a group of similar inherited bleeding disorders that occur in humans, pigs, dogs and rabbits. vWD is usually less clinically severe than hemophilia and is inherited as an autosomal trait. This means that it can be transmitted equally by and to both sexes. Carriers are asymptomatic but affected dogs may exhibit any of the following symptoms: excessive bleeding when the nails are cut too short, severe bleeding during surgery, bleeding from the nose or gums, particularly during teething, bleeding from the vagina or penis , hematomas on the surface of the body, limbs or head, internal bleeding, lameness from bleeding into the joints, stillbirths or neonatal deaths with evidence of hemorrhage at autopsy, chronically infected and bloody ears, prolonged bleeding during the heat cycle or after whelping, bleeding in stools or urine.

In addition to the inherited variety, an acquired version has also been reported in humans as well as dogs, associated with thyroid hormone deficiency (hypothyroidism).
