I'm so sorry your pet is ill. Any bloody stool can be caused by parvovirus, but unfortunately we cannot tell just by looking at the poop. Other possible causes for bloody stool are dietary indiscretion and intestinal parasites just to name a few. You will have to take your pet Shadow in to the vet to get Shadow tested to be sure. I do hope that your pet Shadow is going to be ok. Best wishes and take care.
