Hello, I'm sorry to hear about Tiki's gastro illness. It can take days for the diarrhea to clear up, and some liquid stool or blood in the stool can be normal in this time. Dogs are much more likely to experience blood in their stool when they have diarrhea than humans. Please continue with your veterinarian's instructions and the flagyl. If she stops eating or becomes lethargic, contact your vet for a recheck. I hope this is helpful. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
