First Off
Thanks to everyone that actually tried to give me advice and not just shoot me down. I figured she might just have an upset stomach and tried to give her some food to help. She didn't have any of the tainted dog food, I DO (regardless of what some of you people think) worry about my dog enough to make sure she didn't have any of it. The blood started yesterday. I was trying to let her upset stomach run its course because there was no blood in her stool at first, and also not have to spend a fortune at the vet to find out that's what it was. I don't have a lot of money, I thought it might have been that, but then the blood showed up. I am taking her to the vet tomorrow. I was mainly wanting some kind of answer to not confirm my fears of how sick she was.
Secondly
You people that decided to bad mouth me and not try to help my dog, shouldn't be allowed to leave answers. If you can't help, don't answer
And Third
To the man that said to shoot my dog, u r a very sick person

And I'm not sure why someone would delete my question before... there was NO type of profanity, nastiness, or anything else on here, but it upset me very much...thankfully I was on my email looking to see if there were any answers and saw that my question was deleted....Thank you guys so much for all the care and compassion about my dog...I really appreciate it.
I love her so much....It's not that I didn't want to take her to the vet, I just thought she might have had an upset stomach, and everyone here at the house kinda agreed that we should just maybe let it run its course, and now it has worsened. So, to let all of the caring and compassionate people out there know, I'm taking her in the morning, my best friend is going to bring me, and I'll give you and update to let you know how we made out.
THANK YOU SO MUCH

Please take your dog to the vet immediately. Your dog sounds very ill. When my dog was doing this I took him to the vet and found out he extremely close to dying. We believed he had food poisoning.

This Can Be a Serious Case,Take The Dog To A Vet A.S.A.P. Many Dog Species Specially Rotweillers And Many Other Guard Dog's Get A Deadly Desease Called "Parvo", This Is Like Aids In Human's Once It Is In Full Effect But Can Be Like H.I.V If It Is Detected Early In Dogs, If Your Dog Has These Symtoms, Vomiting And Spooling Blood, It Might Be Too Late For Him Or Her To Get Saved, The Humane Way Will Be To Put The Dog To Sleep, This Will Run Anywhere From 150 To 250 Depending Where You Go. I Had A Dog With These Similar Symtoms And I Had To Put It To Sleep A Year Ago. Parvo Is Caused By A Dog Coming In Contact With Water, Stool, Vomit That Has This Virus, (Parvo),Or Coming In Contact With Another Dog Mostly All Small Dog Species Are Immune To This Desease But Can Still Pass it On To Bigger Dogs That Have Weaker Immune Systems Or Doggs That Have Not Been Given TheVaccination To Protect It From This Deadly Virus.

I would take the dog to the vet. But, if this is for some reason impossible. Try Kapopectate and a diet of hamberger and rice. If he will eat this, add a little yogurt. You may be mistaking food dye for blood.
Take his temp too. Normal is about 101. You can use a human digital thermometer inserted in the rectum.
There is a big scare on dog food. If he has only been eating kibble then he should be ok. If he's been eating anything with gravey or canned or soft-moist foods, he could be at risk.
If the dog is active with these symptoms, it may just be stomach upset. But, if it's lethagic, the vet is still your best bet.

Quick, please get your sick dog to the vet IMMEDIATELY!!
She needs to be infussed right away, because two days of diarrhea must've made her dehydrated badly..
And don't give her any food for now, because she'll throw it all up & that would make her weaker.. Just try to force her to swallow 2 spoons of water mixed with honey a bit, every 10 or 15 minutes. Don't give her any milk, that'll just worsen the diarrhea.. And do give her a blanket / towel under her body so she won't touch the cold floor. But this won't help her much, as she needs medicine from the vet right away!
And a little tips, perhaps you might want to give her a soft massage along her back spine some times, coz that would comfort her a bit..
Good luck & hope your dog can get well soon..

There are a number of serious things that can be causing this but she needs to see a Vet asap to start the appropriate treatment. There is a medication and IV solutions that can be used for dogs with Parvo, if that was what was going on. If your dog has pancreatitis, she will need a different treatment for that and it will be important for her to have fluids including antibiotics and anti-nausea medication under the skin or IV but nothing by mouth for a few days.
Please contact a Vet so you can get her started on what will help her.
Some Vets will work with you if you care for the dog at home according to instructions. That is what I did with my dog who had similar symptoms. I took the fluids home and stayed at her side for 24 hrs while administering the fluids. Then when she was better she still couldn't eat and had distilled water mixed with pedialyte. Once she was able to start eating I added pumpkin pie filling to her diet and that helped to regulate her. It helps with either diarrhea or constipation and with upset stomach. Feeding or giving a dog water by mouth, if the dog has pancreatitis will make the dog sicker, but they have to have fluids.
I didn't do this though without her first being tested by the Vet to rule out Parvo. Even though she had her shots.
Hope your dog will be okay but you will need a Vet in on this to be sure of the right treatment and the supplies you will need to give her the best chance to live. Depending on what you treat your dog with and when depends on her chances for survival.

Dang. It almost sounds like Parvo! Has your dog had all its shots? You should take it to the vet. Think if it was you throwing up and bleeding from your boody. I think you would of went on to the emergency room. My dog had parvo and lived through it and it was not cheap. My vet kept him for nearly two weeks and he pulled through it. Very rare for that to happen. Get him/her to the vet! I can't believe you haven't already.

Veterinarian. RIGHT NOW. Blood is a SERIOUS issue. This is nothing you can deal with on a questions board; a vet MUST look at your dog ASAP. If you can, take a stool sample with you; they may want to test it.
Good luck and God bless.

Its should go without saying that your dog has internal bleeding. Take her to a Pet Hospital as she will die if not seen by a vet who can pinpoint and treat the problem.
