My 8-month Frenchie has bright red bloody poop but seems fine. What to do?

Question

My 8 mo old frenchie just had very bloody (bright red) poop. No other symptoms, had a normal colored but a little soft bowel in the evening, ate dinner as usual, is playing and acting normal, no vomiting. Don’t know what to think. Pet's info: Dog | French Bulldog | Female | spayed | 8 months and 2 days old | 19 lbs

Hi there. I'm sorry to hear that Lucy has bloody stool! Bright red blood in the stool is an indication of inflammation in the colon wall. She may have eaten something that didn't agree with her, or she may have gotten a bacterial infection of her gut causing the inflammation. I would feed her a bland diet of boiled chicken and white rice and see if that clears it up. If she is still having blood in her stool by tomorrow mid day, or if she begins acting sick (not eating, vomiting) I'd have her seen right away. I hope that helps. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
