Poor Bentley! It's very serious when a dog has blood diarrhea, which can be caused by hemorrhagic gastroenteritis, damage to the GI tract, a foreign body, dietary indiscretion, infected or abscessed anal sacs, parasites, or parvovirus if he isn't fully vaccinated. I would take Bentley into a vet immediately, as there are some serious causes of bloody diarrhea. The vet can a physical exam, routine blood tests, a urinalysis, a fecal exam, and possibly x-rays to diagnose what is causing the bloody diarrhea, and can prescribe a treatment for it.
