my dog is very itchy and I found tape worms in her bowel movement last night...i had already had a Dr. App. for monday it at 9 for maybe mange..it was also bloodly like someone had dropped maybe 2 drops of food coloring on top of it...but its only at the begginning and end of her poop...like its her anal glands doing it...I read that they can do this to her if there swollen...I don't no if they are or not but her butt was blood red and it had a white discharge...today it looks pinker but its got a small dark red spot in the middle...she wants to play and jump around but with blood in her stool should I let her do that...anndd she wasn't eating last night unless it was from my hand and this morning she is reallly hungry...gave her a pinch of garlic powder...not alot let me stress...about 15 pieces of dog food covered in it...then the rest plain....is the itchy ness from the worms?...Thought she might have mange...but shes only got red blotchy spots and a little hair loss nothing major..

She may just have allergies along with the worms, my dog chews at her lower legs during certain times of the year, and she chews all the hair off and leaves these open sores. But still take her to the vet and have her checked over, just to be certain.

Highly doubt its a tape worm... do some research online, or other wise just keep an eye on your dog, if his/her condition worsens get it to the vet immediately.. in the mean time, make sure you carry the dog to the vet at the earliest time possible. It may have a combination of worms.. such as hook worms and tape worms...etc.. this could be secondary to fleas, or other parasites such as mange.. anyway type "tape worm" in google, and you will see the #1 syptoms is loss of appetite.. and you said your dog was hungry..
