My dog has 2 small streaks of blood in her stool. Her stool was hard and crumbly. Overall she is otherwise healthy. Has a good appetite. She did vomit up some bike yesterday. I know she is stressed since we are moving this weekend and her routine is a bit off

If her feaces were hard, it could be that the blood is from straining to pass the poo. Maybe feaces were harder because of vomiting and being slightly dehydrated. As you say, she probably senses the move and the stress, I would recommend to monitor her for the time being but see a vet if blood persisting or if worried.

Blood in the stool could be a sign of a gastrointestinal disease such as gastritisor pancreatitis. It could also be due to parasites or, as you suggested stress. You should get Callie checked out by a veterianarian within the next day or two to determine the underlying cause of this and obtain appropriate treatment. I would recommend you not wait more than about 2 days to get Callie to a vet.

I'm so sorry to hear about your Callie Cat. Her symptoms sound very serious. Such frequent vomiting and stool with blood is a concern for many possible illnesses, including infection, liver or kidney disease, pancreatitis, thyroid disease, parasites, or even cancer. I would suggest taking her to your family vet as soon as possible. They will likely recommend blood work and x-rays as an initial first step to help pinpoint the diagnosis. I hope this helps, and your kitty starts feeling better soon!
