Home remedies--blood in stool

Question
QUESTION: I have a 1.5 year old Yorkie.  I came home to find he had gotten into the aluminum foil (it was on the HIGH counter and I still don't know how he master such a feat).  Although he had a normal bowel movement that night, he has become increasingly more strained in passing stool.  This morning, his stool had bright red specs of blood on it.  Is there anything I can do to try to help what I believe to be the aluminum foil pass more easily without causing him more pain?

Thanks,
-d

ANSWER: Hi Dee- Do you have any canned pumpkin in the house?  The pumpkin pie filling??? If not, go get some canned pure pumpkin with no added sugar, if you can find it.
Give him 3 tablespoons of this now.  It will help to coat the intestines and move the foil out ... That little DEVIL...

Make sure you are feeding him a good supplement like this:
