This sounds very bad. Bloody stools means there is significant inflammation in the colon. Common causes include hemorrhagic gastroenteritis, parvo virus, and distemper virus. If he is vomiting at the same time, he really needs vet care to prevent life-threatening dehydration. Try to force him to drink small amounts of water or pedialyte every 2 hours to give fluids without possibly causing vomiting. If paying for a vet is an issue, you can see if your vet accepts payment plans, if there is a low cost clinic in your area, or you can apply for Care Credit online. There is also an organization called Red Rover that give grants for treatment of sick animals, and you can see if you qualify for one of their grants. Best Friends also has a list of resources that offer financial assistance on their website. https://www.redrover.org https://www.carecredit.com http://bestfriends.org/resources/financial-aid-pets http://lessonsfromaparalyzeddog.com/when-pet-owners-cant.../ http://www.dogheirs.com/resources-affordable-veterinary.../ www.thepetfund.com/
