My puppy had red/orange spots in poop once. Should I be concerned?

Question

My puppy seems to have a little red/orange spotting in his stool. It was just this one time and it just happened. Should I just keep an eye on it? Pet's info: Dog | Boxer | Male | neutered | 3 months and 25 days old | 60 lbs

If Bentley is feeling better otherwise then it is ok to monitor him. If he has softer stool then a veterinary check up is warranted or he is vomiting/lethargic or not eating. I get concerned with blood in stool when it is consistent or a lot of blood. I would drop a stool sample off at your veterinarian to check for intestinal parasites. If the blood continues he needs to see a veterinarian as soon as possible. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
