My puppy has severe bloody diarrhea, vet closed. What should I do now?

Question

My puppy has severe diarrhea, with blood. She just got dewormed two weeks ago and then again today. She’s has this diarrhea since Monday night and our vet has been closed all week. We had her on chicken and rice and pumpkin. It helped for a day but then went right back to bad diarrhea. We don’t know what to do. Pet's info: Dog | Siberian Husky | Female | unspayed | 1 month and 24 days old | 11 lbs

Withhold all food for 24 hours. Allow small amounts of water or unflavored PediaLyte. Resume feeding a bland diet in small, frequent amounts. Begin with one tablespoon of food every hour and gradually increase the amount. Feed bland food until the stool is normal then transition slowly to the regular diet. A veterinary probiotic, such as FortiFlora, ProViable or ProStora may promote gut health. If the diarrhea doesn't resolve or if Zia develops lethargy, vomiting, loss of appetite or abdominal pain then have her rechecked by your veterinarian. Submit another stool sample to diagnose intestinal parasites or bacterial and consider a parvovirus SNAP test.
