That could be many things and the most common are parasites, viruses and bacteria over growth. I recommend to have Coco seen today by the veterinarian. Blood in the stool is never normal. Take in the stool sample to the appointment as the doctor will likely need to test it. I hope this is helpful and please feel free to post any additional questions.
