Submit a stool sample to your veterinarian to diagnose intestinal parasites. If Tuffy is behaving normally otherwise, you can try withholding food for 24 hours. Allow small amounts of water or unflavored PediaLyte. Resume feeding a bland diet in small, frequent amounts. Begin with 1 tablespoon of food every hour and gradually increase the amount. Feed bland until the stool is normal before transitioning slowly to Tuffy's regular diet. Monitor for lethargy, vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite or abdominal pain. These are all symptoms that should be addressed by your veterinarian. If the bloody stool persists or worsens, Tuffy should be seen by your vet. If Tuffy is not behaving normally, skip all the above and have him physically examined by your veterinarian. An exam, lab work and abdominal x-rays may diagnose the underlying cause for the bloody stool.
