It's certainly possiblt for dogs to get haemmhoroids, which are like firm blood blisters, particularly if the dog has been constipated recently. It's equally likely to be a wart or infected abcess or other kind of mass though. It's worth keeping an eye on it for now, as it may settle down on it's own. But if after a few days/ a week it hasn't resolved, it's a good idea to get it looked at. Potentially it could be something more serious, but don't worry about it at this stage.
