Can you get your Sheltie to a vet as soon as you can? This needs to be checked out.

Get your dog to the vet! Make sure to take a sample of the poop with you for testing. There is nothing really more to say here.

Yes, your pup should see the vet as soon as possible. This can be a sign of giardia, coccidia or other problems that require medication and can cause more serious problems and dehydration. In the meantime, until you get the dog to the vet, don't feed regular dog food. Boiled chicken and white rice is all I'd give, and small amounts of that mixed with water.
If you can get your dog an appointment today, that would be best. Please let us know what happens. Good luck!

Hi Roxy's human,
don't worry about uploading picture, bloody diarrhea speaks for itself. Unfortunately it could be sign of many many problems so it is best to go to your vet ASAP and bring sample of the stool to be tested.
Good luck and hopefully Roxy will get better soon!

Please, please get her to the vet right now! Mally had bloody diarreah when he was younger and was very, very ill. The vet hooked him right up to an IV.
Mally had HGE (Hemorrhagic GastroEnteritis) very serious. He got better quickly though after being on the IV fluids.
Please continue to update us on how she is doing. Thanks.
PS I said a prayer for her for restored health.

Was your dog near the ocean, did he consume any salt water?
Toffee had this once after too much waveherding and splashing in the ocean.
A few of my friends had confirmed that they have experienced the same thing shortly after ocean visit and too much drinking of it, it gives dogs instant diarrhea and it was really bloody very fast, but didn't even last a night
I waited til next morning and he was fine, but better to go to vet to make sure!!
