Question
i have had my jack russell for 4 days and this morning there was bleeding in his stool. not alot of blood. are there any home remedies that i can use? someone told me to try garlic and feeding him 4-5 small meals a day. what do you suggest?

Answer
Blood in the stool requires veterinary medical treatment. Take her to the vet so they can test him for any number of problems it could be (worm infestation or parvo virus can make him very very sick and deadly).  Please, no home remedies, this is a serious warning sign that something is wrong. Call and make an appointment right away - and bring a stool sample in to the Dr.
Don't wait. Good luck.
