Why is my dog pooping blood and not eating after a recent move?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Poodle | Female | spayed | 4 years and 11 months old | 34 lbs

Merida just pooped blood. She appears to be acting and feeling fine. She hasn't done this at all in the past month. She is eating omega 3s and fish oil with her food and water. She eats Blue all natural dental bones. Her food is Acana. We just moved and she hasn't eaten or drank all day today. It is really stressful for her. Can you tell me what is going on or what might be going on? Thanks, reply asap! Bye.

I'm sorry Merida isn't doing well! There could be a couple of things causing the blood in her poop. Many of my colleagues have reported cases of hemorrhagic gastroenteritis in dogs fed Blue products, so that could be the cause of it. It could also be caused by an ulcer, possibly extreme stress, intestinal parasites, or a foreign body. I would say that she isn't feeling fine if she hasn't eaten or drank all day. That sounds like to me a dog who isn't feeling well. When a dog poops blood and doesn't eat or drink, then it's considered a medical emergency. She needs veterinary attention now. 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. I hope this helps!
