My puppy's poop looks bloody and he seems very weak. What should I do?

Question

Please excuse the photo. My puppy just pooped this. What do you think? What could have caused this? He isn't crying whenever I try to carry him or touch him. He doesnt seem to be lethargic. He's just very weak. But he was able to eat and drink some just now. Can anyone help? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | 2 months and 1 day old

It's difficult to tell from the picture, but it looks like there is some blood in that picture. If that is the case, then I would recommend having Toffee examined by a veterinarian today. Puppies can have a number of intestinal diseases that can cause problems. Some are mild, but some can be very serious. Anytime there is blood, we want to start treatment right away to prevent it from getting worse. And if Toffee is weak, then he is likely already quite sick and needs treatment right away. Good luck! I hope that was helpful and that Toffee feels better soon. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
