our 10 week old puppy

Question
We got a 10 week old puppy from my sister. She has not had her shots, we have an appointment next week. She has had loose bowels and been throwing up for 2 days. This morning I woke up and there was blood on the floor. When she goes to the bathroom bright red blood comes out of her rectum. What can cause this and what should we do?

Answer
There is really a good chance this puppy has parvo virus. You need to take her into the vet's today-not next week. Since she has never been vaccinated she is at a really high risk of this being very serious.

I really want to stress this: get her to the vet's today!
