Poor Suzi! Diarrhea with a bit of blood can have a variety of causes including stomach upset from eating abnormal food (yes, even pupperoni), parasites, viruses and hemorrhagic gastroenteritis (HGE). I'm glad that you've started feeding her a bland diet, but be sure that she is not getting anything else (treats included) and that it is boiled white meat chicken mixed with white rice. If her diarrhea continues after a day or two on the bland diet, she should be examined by her vet and have a stool sample analyzed for parasites. Some dogs develop a GI sensitivity to fatty treats and can develop GI upset. In some cases, stopping the treats alone is insufficient and prescription medications may be needed to break the cycle of diarrhea.

Even random food can cause GI upset. The only food Kira needs is her dog food. I'm concerned that she is pooping blood, keep a close eye on that. Withhold food for 12-24 hours, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in her normal diet. If the diarrhea continues on the bland diet, she starts vomiting food, she continues to have blood in her poop, she stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, she will need to see a vet right away.
