My dog ate something. Now has diarrhea, blood, gas. Should I worry?

Question

Kylo ate something off the sidewalk on Saturday. In his normal poop yesterday, there was one spot of blood and then he had diarrhea. Since then, he has acted mostly normal. We fed him a little boiled chicken and rice last night and he slept through the night without an issue. This morning he had one normal poop and then immediately diarrhea which was a little orange. No blood. But his stomach is still making a lot of very loud gassy noises. Despite all that, he still wants to chase squirrels. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 36 lbs

Since it is not known what Kylo ate, it’s impossible to say for sure that it is the cause of the diarrhea or if it is coincidental. Certainly pets can get G.I. upset from eating things they shouldn’t. If he bland diet doesn’t improve things after 24 hours, pets should receive further care. Kylo should continue the bland diet and I also recommend to call his veterinarian. The loud stomach noises indicate his stomach is upset. Some of these pets needs antibiotics (spoiled food can lead to infection). Probiotics are generally beneficial. I hope he starts feeling better quickly and please feel free to post any additional questions.
