If he is eating, drinking and otherwise acting ok I would not be too concerned. However, if the stool continues to have blood in it for more than 1 or 2 days I would recommend taking Watson to the vet to be checked out.

Yes, I would be quite concerned about the bloody stool, as that can have some pretty serious causes. I would take Nutmeg into the vet first thing in the morning to have this checked out. Best of luck.
