Answer
Hi Ramona,

If your dog is acting lethargic (low energy), won't eat and is also having rectal bleeding, then it's time to have your dog examined by a veterinarian, even if that means traveling a great distance to get to the doctor.
It's impossible to guess at what your dog's problem might be. Just like when a child is sick, there is no substitute for professional medical care.

The Philippine Animal Welfare Society might have info as to when a veterinarian is passing through in your area, or where there is an animal hospital that's near you:

87 Small Horseshoe, New Manila
Quezon City 1112
Tel: +63-2-724-6395
