My dog has bloody diarrhea and is straining to poop. Is it serious?

Question

My dog seems to be having a hard time pooping. She is having a bloody and diarrhea mixture coming out. But it's not a lot it will just drip out of her butt when she tries to poop. Should I be worried? Or will it pass? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | spayed | 2 years and 6 months old | 40 lbs

Bloody diarrhea can be a sign of significant infection or a disease called HGE. Dogs can become very sick very quickly with HGE. I would highly encourage you to have her evaluated by a veterinarian as soon as possible. Antibiotics and/or probiotics may be recommended. Best of luck and I hope she improves soon.
