This is very concerning. A problem called HGE or hemorrhagic gastroenteritis could be what is going on. This can be life threatening. I would highly encourage you to have her evaluated by a veterinarian immediately. They will probably recommend running some blood work and possibly some x-rays to determine a diagnosis. She will also likely need IV fluids and possibly antibiotics based on what you describe. I am very worried about her and hope you are able to get her to an emergency center as soon as possible. Best of luck and I hope she improves soon. Thank you for using Pet Coach.

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Rebel. Poor girl. It may be her intestinal tract is so irritated from the diarrhea that it's now turned bloody or she could have hemorrhagic gastroenteritis. Because it's turned bloody, it's time to see the vet. I would take her into a vet today to get this diagnosed and treated. I hope this helps!
