On no, poor Ayla! Bright red diarrhea indicates she is bleeding from her lower intestinal tract, and that can be caused by toxin ingestion, eating something rotten, a foreign body, trauma to the GI tract, hemorrhagic gastroenteritis, or even cancer. It's considered serious when a dog has bloody diarrhea, and it's best to have her checked out by a vet right away for it especially since she isn't eating as well. The vet can diagnose what is causing her bloody diarrhea and anorexia, and can treat her for it.
