Hello and thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Blood in the stools in a puppy usually is caused by intestinal worms or infections. Please, take Rex to your local vets to check him over. He may just need worming medication and a few days of antibiotics, but your vet also may want to test him for parvovirosis, a nasty viral infection that attacks mainly puppies.
