It could be a number of things. To answer this properly, I need to know if the blood was a light red or a dark red?

If it is a DARK RED he could have any of the following:
General Causes

Infectious agents
Certain drugs
Cancer
Foreign bodies in the stomach or intestines
Infiltrative and inflammatory gastrointestinal diseases
Ingestion of blood
Coagulopathies (bleeding disorders)
Metabolic and other diseases that cause gastrointestinal ulceration
Hemorrhagic gastroenteritis (HGE)
Perioperative hemorrhage (bleeding associated with surgery on the intestinal tract)
Gastrointestinal ischemia (lack of blood supply)
Ingestion of heavy metals (uncommon causes)

These are signs to watch out for:

Dark, almost black stools
Diarrhea
Vomiting
Pale gums
Other areas of bleeding or bruising on the body
Weight loss
Poor appetite
Excessive drinking or urinating
Excessive urinating

You need to ask your vet what could be wrong. They need to do a lot more than just a simple stool test.
