She could have colitits...which is an irritation of her bowel. Dogs and cats can get that if they are stressed out ( have you moved recently? New family member? Something different in the environment..new work schedule?) I would just get some pedalyte and put that in her water to make sure she gets enough electrolytes ( so she doesn't get dehydrated) and watch her. If this continues more than 2 days you need to take her into the vet. But she should get over it herself with plenty of water around.

You need to take her to your vet. Get a fresh stool sample from the morning you're going to take her. They will look at it under a microscope for parasites & will also be able to determine if this is new blood or old blood. Best to check with your vet because it could be a number of things. This is not normal.

I would have the vet runs a stool test first. It may not be worms at all but a paracite like Coccidia or Gardia. They you can worm her to high heaven and it will do no good at all.
A stool test isn't expensive at all and it's better to know exactly what's going on before you medicated for anything.

The only way to really know is a fecal test, unfortunately. I'd wait it out and not give any meds unless it's a positive test. Also, dogs can get little hemorrhoids too. It's possible that she's got them. If it happens throughout the day, I'd take a sample to the vet to find out exactly what it is.

YOU NEED TO GO TO THE VET AND HAVE A STOOL SAMPLE TAKEN. ITS CHEAP SO DONT WORRY ABOUT THE COST. WORMING YOUR DOG YOURSELF WONT DO A THING IF ITS SOMETHING ELSE THAT IS WRONG WITH IT. IT COULD JUST GET WORSE IF NOT CARED FOR.

My dog it sounds like had the same problem. I had to take her to the vet he said it was a parasite and gave her medicine. She got better after a few days of taking the medicine. I would defiantly her to the vet. Hope she's okay!

Do not try to treat this at home. Your dog needs a veterinary exam.
Over the counter wormers and flea products are ineffective at best, and worst they can make your pet seriously ill or worse.

Sounds like worms, but if it continues, you should see a vet due to the possiblity of some kind of internal bleeding.

Please take her to the vet. She has something seriously wrong with her. Blood in the stool is never a good sign.
