I'm truly concerned about the symptoms your dog is experiencing. The combination of bloody diarrhea, vomiting worms, difficulty breathing, and significant weight loss suggests a potentially serious condition that needs immediate veterinary attention. These symptoms could be indicative of severe parasitic infections, such as heartworms or intestinal worms, which can lead to respiratory distress and gastrointestinal issues.

The fact that your dog is only drinking water and not eating is also worrisome and points to a serious underlying problem. Difficulty breathing, in particular, is very alarming and can be life-threatening. It's crucial to take your dog to a veterinarian or an emergency animal hospital as soon as possible. They will be able to conduct the necessary diagnostics and provide treatments, such as oxygen therapy, medications to tackle the parasitic infection, and supportive care to stabilize your dog's condition.

Please do not delay in seeking professional veterinary care. If you have any further questions or need assistance, feel free to reach out. Thank you.
