my 10-week old rottweiler puppy is doing poop with blood, the poo has bright red blood, the blood is small blobs on her poo. she is active, eating, drinking, just like any other puppy. is this something serious? i think it might be blood stool but i don’t know really. i will take her to the vet if i need to.
I seen parvo before, i know the signs of parvo, parvo dogs vomit, and always sleeply like,
This is pretty common in Rotts and Dobes. What you have descibed is a bout of Colitis. Skip one of her feeds then serve her boiled white rice with boiled (skinless and boneless) chicken meat until this clears up, then gradually start mixing her own food through that until she is back on her own food, this wont cause her any harm but it can become very painful for them unless cleared up, so give her a bland diet (chicken and rice) until its cleared as I have advised and she will be just fine. If she is having continuous bouts of this then a change in her regular food may be needed, try not to give her too many various dog treats either. Stick with boiled chicken breast meat for training.
ADD; Only if this does not clear up after a few days on a bland diet and or she suddenly becomes ill etc will she need the vet. Otherwise the vet will not be able to rule out colitis which is VERY common in the breed. Don’t panic, just do the bland diet thing etc and take it from there, you said she is fine in herself, so likley she just has a small bout of colitis, especially if she is going through vaccinations at the moment.

call your vet right away and ask if its serious or not, to be sure.

I would at least collect a fresh sample & take it in to your Vet.

You’re puppy is POOPING blood. It could be Parvo, it could be a serious case of worms, it could be an infection, or cancer. You’re puppy NEEDS a vet, ASAP! As in, an EMERGENCY vet.

if it starts vomiting , that is a sign of parvo , still i would get to the vet asap , blood in poo , not a good sign

Totally agree with Chigirl. You need a sample to take to your vets. If the blood is a light red it’s probably just a burst vessel in the rectum off straining, but if the blood is nearly black you have a serious internal problem and must goto a vet ASAP

Well we can only guess. It could be parvo, it could be a broken blood vessel. Take your puppy to the vet so the vet can determine what is wrong. It would be wrong of us to just guess things and then your puppy dies or something. Call your vet/vet tech and make an appointment to find out what is wrong.
