She has really bad teeth. She will probably need some extractions. Have a dental cleaning done by the vet ASAP. When it’s done, you need to start brushing regularly, at least 4 times a week, or else she will be back to square one in no time. And the older the dog is, the more risk there is to having dental cleaning done, because of anesthesia.
The bleeding when you brush is perfectly normal. It’s the gums bleeding, because they are sensitive and have never been in contact with the brush. Same thing happens to humans who don’t brush enough. After a while (not long, not even a week), her gums will get used to it and there will be no bleeding.
I brush both my toy’s teeth and they never bleed.
