Dusty needs to go to an emergency clinic right away tonight. This could be hemorrhagic gastroenteritis, heavy intestinal parasite burden, or some of his bowel dying for some reason. Either way, this is a very serious issue and could be life threatening if not treated. He will likely need blood work and hospitalization for IV fluids to re-hydration and medications to calm down his gut and prevent sepsis. Best of luck to you and Dusty!
