I'm really sorry to hear that your dog is experiencing these issues. Bloody diarrhea can be quite concerning and can stem from various causes, including infections, parasites, dietary indiscretions, or even more serious conditions like gastrointestinal diseases or toxins.

Given that your dog has had bloody diarrhea multiple times a day for five days, it's important to address this promptly. Here are a few steps you can take at home while you arrange for a veterinary visit:

First, ensure your dog stays hydrated. Diarrhea can lead to significant fluid loss, so make sure she has access to fresh water at all times. You can also offer an electrolyte solution designed for pets to help maintain her hydration levels.

Next, consider temporarily switching her diet to something bland, such as boiled chicken and rice. This can help soothe her digestive system. It's best to avoid giving her any treats or human food that could further irritate her stomach during this time.

Additionally, keep a close eye on her behavior and any other symptoms that may develop, such as vomiting, lethargy, or changes in appetite. Take note of the frequency and appearance of her stools, as this information can be very helpful for your veterinarian.

Ensure she gets plenty of rest and avoid any strenuous activities that could further stress her system.

However, given the severity and duration of her symptoms, it is crucial to seek veterinary care as soon as possible. Bloody diarrhea can indicate a serious underlying condition that requires professional diagnosis and treatment. A veterinarian will be able to perform necessary tests and provide appropriate medications to address the issue.

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