My dog has diarrhea, soft stool, and bleeding. Is it serious?

Question

My dog had diarrhoea yesterday and we starved him for 24 hours, he still was runny this morning, we gave him a little bit of food, this afternoon and he did a more normal but still soft stool, he did a tiny wee soft stool but I noticed his bottom was bleeding a little bit, could there be something more serious?

It sounds as Bear is suffering from a gastrointestinal condition, possibly an infection. signs of blood from the rectum can be a serious sign. it could also be due to ingestion of a foreign body material. i would recommend taking him to the vet the first chance you get, he will need to be checked first, if the vet thinks it's a simple gastrointestinal infection he will need an antibiotic course and a special food for a few days in order to get better.
