We just got a Yorkie/Chihuahua puppie(Chorkie). He's ten weeks old, and weighs four pounds. I noticed he had a very runny stool with blood in it. I really would like to know if he's hurt, or feeling any pain. This is my first puppy, and I'm really scared something serious is wrong with him. I haven't noticed any strange behavior, other than wining, but research says that's the normal way they communicate. This is the first time I've seen blood coming out of him. Please, if you could give an answer ASAP, that would be great. Thanks. :confused: :(

I hate to panic you, but get him to a vet now! The bloody, runny stool could be the dreaded parvo, a great killer of young puppies. See Canine Parvovirus, What you should know about (http://www.avma.org/communications/brochures/canine_parvo/parvo_brochure.asp)

Hookworms can also cause bloody stool. I'm sure that he is very uncomfortable . A vet check sounds like a good idea before things get worse.

Bushg is correct about the hookworms. However better to rush a dog to the vet with hookworms, than to delay if it is parvo.

Thx, it's okay now, I got him to a vet, and he's on medication. :) Thx again. :)
