How much bruising is normal?
yes because bruise is an amount of dead blood cells
Can a bruise not hurt?
A bruise does not always hurt. In fact, most don't. Pain would come from the underlying injury, not from the bruise itself. A bruise is simply blood in tissues from small broken blood vessels.
Is getting hit the only reason you would get blood bruises on body?
A blood bruise is different from a regular bruise. A regular bruise results from some force striking the area. For example, I fell, hit my knee, and got a bruise. A blood bruise results from blood leaking out of a capillary because of pressure on the capillary. For example, sucking the skin, or what's called a hickie / hickey, brings blood to the skin surface. The blood makes every pore into a red dot. Squeezing a pimple or pinching can have the same result.
Can you bruise the tip of an ear?

Is it normal for blood vessels to rupture?
When a blood vessel bursts, the wall of the vessel has an abnormal opening. This opening allows blood to escape the circulation, and may cause a bruise or hematoma.
Why has your puppy got yellow looking spots on his eyeballs?
The yellow spots are caused from tiny blood vessels that have ruptured (a bruise) The blood is starting to break down and is being reabsorbed by the body. So it's like a bruise where at first it is blue, then green, then yellow then back to normal only because the vessels of the eye are so superficial it would be red then yellow.
What if blood withdrawn is only 5cc would it still be possible for you to bruise?

You banged your shin very hard and have a lump and pain but no bruise?
No. It has a lump, pain, and a bruise! I now pay better attention when I am walking. If I were to interpret this question, I would guess it means: Why didn't my shin bruise when I banged it, but a lump formed and it hurts?! A bruise will only form if a blood vessel is damaged. Tissue damage anywhere (shin included) will cause an inflammatory response (LUMP and PAIN). You damaged tissue, but no blood vessels.
What would be the immediate treatment after bumping your shin created large blood filled bruise?
Put ice on it (not directly) and that should halt any swelling. The bruise should go away on its on in a week or so.
