I'm sorry to hear about your dog's condition. Bloody diarrhea, loss of appetite, and disorientation are indeed concerning symptoms and could indicate a gastrointestinal issue, an infection, or potentially something more serious like poisoning or a systemic illness.

At home, there are a few steps you can take to help your dog:

Firstly, it's crucial to ensure your dog stays hydrated. Offer small amounts of water frequently, as dehydration can exacerbate the situation.

Regarding diet, it might be beneficial to withhold food for 12 to 24 hours to give your dog's gut some time to rest. After this period, you can try offering a bland diet, such as boiled chicken and rice, in small portions.

Additionally, closely monitor your dog's behavior and any changes in symptoms. Take note of any additional signs, such as vomiting or lethargy.

However, given the presence of blood in the diarrhea and the disorientation, it's imperative to consult a veterinarian as soon as possible. These symptoms could indicate a serious condition that requires professional attention.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. Thank you.
