Hi and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. I recommend taking Cujo to see a veterinarian. If he ate rope and he is now having bloody stool, it is possible he has an intestinal obstruction or a very upset stomach. Your veterinarian will do a full physical exam and determine if additional diagnostic tests such as x-rays or bloodwork are warranted. Good luck and I hope Cujo feels better soon.
