My husky puppy has diarrhea and bleeding after eating a rice bone.

Pet's info: Dog | Siberian Husky | Male | unneutered | 2 months and 22 days old | 18 lbs

I gave my 11 wk old husky a rice bone. He has had diarrhea all day and is now passing watery blood which has changed to small amounts of leaking from his bottom. He acts fine and playful, he's drinking water and acts hungry but I'm not feeding him. What should I do?

Poor Cian! It is concerning that he is passing watery blood which has changed to small amounts of leaking from his bottom. Given that he acts fine and playful, he's drinking water and acts hungry, I would monitor him tonight. It may be that the rice bone is causing this, and if he's still passing this watery blood in the morning, I would have him seen by a vet. Should he start vomiting, become very lethargic, or stops drinking water, I would take him into an ER vet or find a vet on call to see him right away.
