How is blood in a puppy’s stool treated?
Bloody stool in puppies can stem from intestinal parasites, bacterial or viral infection, or foreign-object scratches, each needing different treatment. For parasites, use dewormers like praziquantel or metronidazole plus probiotics. For bacterial infection (E. coli, Salmonella), use antibiotics like gentamicin or cephalosporins. For viruses (distemper, parvovirus), use ribavirin, acyclovir, or interferon with supportive care. If the puppy ate toxins or indigestible objects, promptly perform gastric lavage or abdominal surgery to remove them.
