My dog has sudden bloody diarrhea, not eating or drinking. What to do?

Question

My dog Fraser is a shorkie and 11 pounds he was active all day. He had a normal bowel movements then after work he had some diarrhea and it looks like there's some blood and mucus. Now he's not eating or drinking This change was in a matter of an hour. Is there something I can give him to keep him hydrated. I'm not sure what to do. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Male | neutered | 7 years and 6 months old | 11 lbs

That does seem awfully sudden. I would be concerned he could have gotten into something while playing. If he will drink he can have small frequent amounts of pedialyte (no grape flavor) for hydration. I wouldn't try to feed him for 12 hours to get his GI tract to relax. If he's still having bloody diarrhea or he starts vomiting, I recommend taking him to a vet right away. Good luck and kisses to Fraser!
