My French Bulldog has bloody soft stool, vet meds not helping?

Question

My French Bulldog has been having bloody soft stool for over a month. I’ve taken her to see two different vet hospitals for the problem and both had prescribed metronidazole. The metro has not really helped. I’ve tried different foods and don’t really see good results unless I add rice and pumpkin. The blood is bright red and she always has a blood drip once she is finished defecating. I put her on a hydrolyzed chicken liver diet but nothing has really changed. Please help, I am completely lost. Pet's info: Dog | French Bulldog | Female | unspayed | 15 lbs

There are still many diseases that could cause blood in the stool that haven’t been completely ruled out. The next steps might be an abdominal ultrasound to evaluate the colon and even endoscopy tonlook for polyps in the rectum or colon and obtain biopsies to rule out inflammatory bowel disease. It’s also possible that Madeleine has not had enough time to respond to the hypoallergenic diet trial. I would recheck with your vet and ask about referral to an internal medicine specialist if you want to discuss more in depth testing.
