Using the grass to wipe his bum
The fact that you've noted bloody or black stools and diarrhea multiple times a day is concerning and suggests that your puppy may be experiencing a gastrointestinal problem or even a more serious condition such as parvovirus, especially if he hasn't completed his vaccination series.
The presence of blood or a very dark color in the stool can indicate bleeding in the gastrointestinal tract. This could be due to a variety of causes, including infections, parasites, dietary indiscretion, or even a foreign body that he may have ingested. Diarrhea can also lead to irritation around the anus, prompting your dog to scoot or wipe his bum on the grass for relief.
At home, you can gently clean the area with a warm, damp cloth to help soothe irritation and remove any fecal matter stuck to the fur, which can cause discomfort. And Please ensure that he has access to fresh water at all times, as diarrhea can quickly lead to dehydration, especially in young puppies.
Provide his food intake and consider feeding a bland diet, such as boiled chicken and rice, which can be easier on his digestive system.
Keep an eye on his behavior and stool. If the diarrhea persists for more than 24 hours, if he becomes lethargic, starts vomiting, or shows any signs of worsening, such as increased frequency of bloody stools or a change in his general demeanor, it is imperative to take him to the hospital immediately. These symptoms could indicate a serious condition that requires prompt medical attention.
If the behavior persists even after the diarrhea has resolved, it could be a sign of anal gland issues or other irritations that would need to be addressed by a veterinarian.
