It is not uncommon for bitches to take a touch of gastroenteritis during pregnancy, this leads to an upset tummy with loose motions and sometimes blood, another possibility is worms. It is best not to starve a pregnant bitch so I would try feeding her rice and chicken. If she is dull or has not returned to normal faeces in 24 hours take her to the vet because pregnant animals are more at risk than non pregnant.

    Poor Coco! She should have an exam by a vet to figure out why she is having bloody stools, and she will likely need to be on probiotics and antibiotics to help stop the diarrhea. Your vet may want a fecal sample to do specific tests on as well, so bring a sample with you.
