Our question this week was:My puppy is sick, wont eat, is very weak, and I can see blood coming from the butt. What do you recommend? AnswerWe recommend that you take your puppy immediately to your veterinarian or local veterinary emergency clinic. The puppy sounds like it is very sick and could die without proper treatment. There are several causes for the symptoms that you described including severe parasite infections or viruses such as Parvovirus.
