My dog has diarrhea with blood but is still very active; it ate a little sunflower seed shell and vomited it out.
Bloody diarrhea can be gut scraping by a foreign body, parasites, hemorrhagic enteritis, or virus. If active and seed shells were eaten, it may be mild; fast and give probiotics, then meds if no improvement, or see a vet for foul-smelling stool with other signs.

What if a pudding hamster is too fat and is starved for a day?
Do not starve a fat pudding hamster to lose weight; it harms the gut and causes vomiting, diarrhea, poor appetite, and shorter life. Instead cut daily food to 80%, avoid fatty foods like mealworms and sunflower seeds, then to 60 to 70% after adjustment. Use a bigger cage or out-of-cage time for exercise.
My parrot is retching, lethargic, and losing feathers – what’s wrong?
Retching, low energy, and feather loss can signal illness.

Feather loss can also be normal molting or due to mineral deficiency or sickness.
