Yesterday the stool was dry with blood at the end; today it’s soft stool, end with blood; what is it?
Soft stool with blood at the end may be food intolerance or indigestion causing hemorrhagic enteritis. Parasites like giardia or coccidia that common dewormers miss are also possible. Some gut bacteria or viruses like coccal enteritis or panleukopenia cause bloody stool. If the cat eats and acts well, try pet broad-spectrum anti-inflammatory, gut-mucosa recovery, and adsorbent anti-diarrhea meds. If no full recovery after gut care and fasting, take it for fecal, blood, and infectious tests.
My dog caught a cold from a bath and chills; how to treat at home

Can a puppy whose intestines were pushed out by a car be treated?
A car accident pushing the intestines out can still be treated, but it is hard and lengthy and needs immediate hospital exam and surgery. Exposed intestines mean serious internal injury; even after surgery, watch for other damage and post-op infection. If the dog passes the one-week critical period, the chance of recovery is good. Follow the vet's wound care until discharge.
