Question

Hello. If it is very hot in your area, then yes, it would be cruel to send them outside. In a hot, humid environment, a pup with diarrhea can dehydrate very quickly even in a shaded area. You really need to find out why all the puppies have diarrhea, & especially why the 2 have blood in it. The usual reasons would be intestinal parasites or Parvovirus. This will probably not clear up on its own, & if it gets bad enough can cause significant metabolic derangement to result in death. I hope you can have these guys seen soon so the proper treatment can be started. Thnks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
