My Shih Tzu has bloody diarrhea, not pooping, won't drink, hard belly?

Question

my 2 year old shih tzu has had diarrhea 5 times today, the first 3 was normally but the last two had blood and she had one that looked yellow. My local vet told me to give her white rice to bind her up at first she ate that and was acting normal, when she woke me up to go outside about an hour ago she wouldnt eat anything. So i mixed the rice with some of her soft food and she ate all of it but still hasnt drank any water. She hasnt pooped since about 11 last night. Her stomach is slightly hard.

You can see a period of not pooping after a dog has diarrhea, so I wouldn't be too concerned just yet. Give Cleo canned food and add water to it. If she hasn't pooped by tomorrow, then I would be worried and have her seen by her vet. Best of luck.
