My 5 month old puppy, Mallie, is having trouble walking, she can take a few steps and stand by herself but she either falls or lays down. She's also having bloody diarrhea. She's been refusing to eat since about 2pm.

Mallie sounds very ill, and I think she needs to see a vet now. Please take her into an ER vet clinic; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website.
