My dog has green diarrhea and blood. Should I call the vet immediately?

Question

I woke up and there was green diherrea and blood all over my floor from my dog. I wanted to know if you knew what this could be from or if I should take him to a vet or if I should just monitor him. Photo is after I cleaned up most of the diherrea and some blood. Pet's info: Dog | Chihuahua (Long Coat) | Male | neutered | 4 years and 10 months old | 10 lbs

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Bandit. I recommend that he sees his veterinarian. Blood in the stool can indicate a serious problem. He could have an intestinal infection, inflammation or more serious conditions such as pancreatitis or hemorrhagic gastroenteritis. Being such a small breed dog, he will easily become dehydrated from the diarrhea. His veterinarian will examine him and likely recommend fecal testing and possibly bloodwork. I hope this information helps!
