A dog that comes home from a walk and passes blood may have several causes. First, it may have eaten something dirty outside, leading to acute gastroenteritis after fungal or viral infection. Second, it may have ingested toxic food or medicine, causing vomiting and bloody stool as poisoning.
Finally, it may have contacted another sick dog carrying rabies or parvovirus and caught the virus, producing gut reactions. Take the dog to a vet promptly to avoid worsening.

Cat has breathed poorly and coughed with runny nose since coming home; improved shortly after. A few days ago weather changed severely, then it ran a fever (39.8 C rectally). Four days ago it stopped eating and drinking, hid, no stool or urine, and at night vomited pale-yellow watery fluid with a faint fishy smell. Cephalosporin prescribed. →
