Hi there and thank you for using pet coach to address your concern. If you have not tried a low fat GI food I would consider switching the food to something like Hills I/D and see if this resolves the bloody stool. I would also recommend adding in a probiotics such as Purina fortiflora. If there is no improvement or the blood worsens, I would have Sammie examined by a veterinarian. I would recommend an abdominal ultrasound and blood panel to ensure everything is functioning norm I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. I am also available via consultation if needed.
