If it was just one episode and Marceline is otherwise feeling and eating well I would feed her a bland diet of skinless, boneless chicken breast and white rice for a couple of days. If the diarrhea continues I would have her seen by your veterinarian so they can prescribe medication to help clear up the diarrhea. If dogs have an episode of diarrhea with blood it can be colitis from stress but if it is continuing there could be another issue going on such as a parasite.

Poor Maggie! This diarrhea could be caused by hemorrhagic gastroenteritis, GI tumors, GI ulcers, intestinal parasites, toxic exposure, or severe GI disease. Given that she has had uncontrollable diarrhea for a few days now and there is blood in her stool, the time has passed to try a home remedy and she should see a vet right away. The vet can diagnose what is causing her diarrhea, and can treat her for it. As for the lump, it could be a cyst, an abscess, a lipoma, a benign tumor, or a malignant tumor. Any suspicious lump should be examined by a vet. The vet can perform a test called a fine needle aspirate on it. To do this, the vet sticks a small needle into the lump to get a sample of it's cells, and examines the cells on a slide under a microscope. It's usually painless to the animal, and relatively quick to perform. While being examined for her diarrhea, Maggie can have her lump examined and diagnosed as well.

It could be something Scarlett ate causing her to vomit and have diarrhea, and the diarrhea could cause irritation to the GI tract leading to the blood. If she isn't fully vaccinated, it could be she has a serious illness such as parvovirus. Given that she has been having diarrhea and vomiting, and now there is blood in her diarrhea, it's time to see a vet. Please take her into an ER vet clinic; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website. Best of luck, I hope this helps!

Poor Cassie! Diarrhea for more than 48 hours always warrants a vet visit, especially if it is now becoming bloody - I would really recommend taking her to an emergency vet today for an exam, as this may be a life-threatening problem. This could be caused by a number of different things, including intestinal parasites, HGE (hemorrhagic gastroenteritis), pancreatitis, a systemic illness like liver or kidney disease, or ingestion of something toxic. The vet can do some diagnostic testing if needed to help determine what is causing the diarrhea and get her started on appropriate treatment.
