My jack russell terrier has had soft poop for about a week. and after he goes poop he scootches his butt on the ground and carpet in the house. His butt hole looks irritated. I have a vet appointment for him tomorrow, but today I noticed blood in his stool. Do you know what this could possibly be from

Scooting across the ground is a sign that thier anal sacs need to be emptied. The vet can perform this - it is a gland that can become irritated and swolen. Good thing you are taking him to the vet, this can be very irritating for the dog.

Could be many causes, anal glands being too full, or could be some sort of gastrointestinal upset. Worse case scenario is he chould have some intestinal problem perhaps because of swallowing something.
See your Vet ASAP. Blood in he stool is always treated as serious.

My dog did that when she had pancreatitis.
