It sounds like your dog might be experiencing some gastrointestinal upset, likely from consuming pineapple. While pineapple is generally safe for dogs in small amounts, eating it in large quantities can lead to digestive issues, especially if your dog isn't accustomed to it. The presence of blood in the stool and vomiting are concerning signs that suggest irritation or inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract.

Here are a few steps you can take at home to help your dog:

Firstly, give your dog's stomach a rest by withholding food for 12 to 24 hours. However, make sure she has access to fresh water to prevent dehydration. After this fasting period, you can gradually reintroduce food with a bland diet. Options like boiled chicken and rice or plain boiled pumpkin can be gentle on her stomach.

It's also important to monitor her hydration. Ensure she is drinking water, as dehydration can occur quickly with diarrhea and vomiting. Additionally, keep an eye out for any further symptoms such as lethargy, continued vomiting, or diarrhea, which could indicate a more serious issue.

Given the presence of blood in her stool, along with diarrhea and vomiting, it's crucial to have her evaluated by a veterinarian as soon as possible. These symptoms could point to more serious conditions like gastrointestinal bleeding or pancreatitis, which require professional care.
