My puppy licked bloody cat poop. Is it dangerous? What to do?

Question

I’m so scared right now, while walking my dog she licked a puddle of feces ( I believe it belonged to a cat since this back area is populated by them ) and it had some blood in it It was only a small lick and I put her in her cage since we got home but I’m extremely scared right now, I don’t have a vet or clinic to call.

There is very little you can do other than watch your dog for a few days. Should she get diarrhea, then I would take her to a veterinarian for an exam. There are not that many types of bacteria that your dog can pick up from that and get diarrhea herself.
