I'm really sorry to hear that your dog is experiencing these symptoms. Bloody diarrhea, vomiting, and loss of appetite are serious signs that could indicate a number of potentially severe conditions such as gastrointestinal infections, parasites, or even ingestion of a toxic substance.

Given that your dog is not eating or drinking and the diarrhea has progressed to being bloody, this situation is quite urgent. Dehydration can set in quickly, especially in young dogs, and the presence of blood in the stool is concerning.

While waiting to see a veterinarian, you can try to keep your dog as comfortable as possible. Ensure he has access to fresh water, even if he's not drinking it. You might also try offering him some ice cubes to lick, which can sometimes be easier for a dog to handle than drinking water. Avoid giving any food until you get professional advice, as it might further irritate his stomach.

It's crucial to get your dog to a veterinarian immediately. They can perform necessary tests to determine the cause of these symptoms and provide appropriate treatment, which may include fluids to prevent dehydration, medications to control vomiting and diarrhea, and possibly antibiotics if an infection is suspected.

Please take your dog to the nearest veterinary clinic or emergency animal hospital as soon as possible. If you have any further questions, please ask us. Thank you.

First of all, I'm sorry that I couldn't answer your question quickly.

The symptoms are indeed very serious and can be life-threatening if not addressed promptly.

Dehydration from vomiting and diarrhea can happen quickly, especially in a young dog, and can be fatal if not treated. The presence of blood in the stool is particularly concerning and indicates that immediate veterinary care is necessary.

If his symptoms persist, I strongly recommend taking him to the vet as soon as possible.
