Puppy pooping blood, unvaccinated, but still playing. What to do?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Pug | Male | unneutered | 2 months and 16 days old

Hey there, My puppy of 11 weeks old has started pooing a little bit of blood. Ive seen it for about the past day or two. He still loves playing arond and eats all his food that we give him so it doesnt seem to be harming him but we are worried. Also he has not yet had his puppy vaccinations. Any help please?

Bloody stool in a young dog that isn't vaccinated is a concerning sign. It's possible the cause could be from illness, internal parasites, irritation of the digestive tract, or more. Since it has continued for more than a day it is best to schedule a veterinary appointment to have it checked out. Be sure to note if you see any other symptoms develop such as vomiting, diarrhea, changes to appetite, etc.
