These signs could be compatible with a colitis, which is an inflammation of the last part of the intestine, the colon, usually related to dietary indiscretion. As a first approach, I would suggest to start feeding with a bland diet based on boiled chicken and rice in small portion every 6 hours for the following 48hours. Then gradually reintroduce the normal diet over 5 days. A probiotic like pro-kolin can be added to the diet. I would definitely recommend a veterinary check up if the signs persist or you notice vomiting, lethargy or inappetence.

It can be an infection or stress related colitis. Sometimes food can do it if it was new bag. Some older dogs can get an inflammatory bowel. With blood and mucous it is best if you have her checked by your vet to get prescription medication to clear it up or manage it since it is not responding to the bland diet

If he is generally still quite active and bright and there are no other signs a part from the blood ( a pic of it would help to give you more advices), I think he could potentially wait until the am to be seen by your local veterinarian. The signs you are describing are commonly related to a colitis (inflammation/infection of the last part part of gastrointestinal system) usually related to dietary indiscretion or infection. As a first approach, I would suggest to start feeding with a bland diet based on boiled chicken and rice in small portion every 6 hours for the following 48hours. Then gradually reintroduce the normal diet over 5 days. I would definitively recommend a veterinary check up if the signs persist or you notice vomiting, lethargy or inappetence.
