I actually just got a new puppy July 28, 2007 and had the same problem. I took him to the vet twice and had him tested for parvo - negative. My vet told my puppies often get a little bit of colitis (a condition humans can have) which will result in a bit of blood in the stool (usually and the end of the stool). My puppy had severe diarhea, eventually so bad that it looked like redish-brown water. I was given some anti-biotics for him : Novo-Loperamide (every 12 hours for four days) and Metronidazole (once daily for a week). These pills really seemed to help. One was to ease his upset stomach and the other was for the diarhea. Within 4 days his stool was solid and he was eating more and was much more active. Both vets that I took him to attributed his condition to the stress of being in a new home. Your puppy likely needs to get to know you and your home and become familiar with a routine and then you will see a change. Good luck - I know the stress and worry that you must be going through. I was so stressed during that time that I couldn't eat either!
