Hi! I have a problem. My chihuahua of 10 years is having poop problems. He’ll poop hard for a few days but the next day it’ll be diarrhea. Sometimes there would be blood and sometimes it’s normal. I don’t understand what’s happening. Please help.

I strongly suggest you have Rambo to the vet for a fecal test to check for intestinal parasites (worms). You can do this test at your local VETCO clinic inside Petco stores. ( https://www.vetcoclinics.com/services-and-clinics/clinic-locations-and-schedules/?zip=33025 )
