Answer
Hi Debbie,

Thank you for writing to me about your munchkin with tummy problems.

Bloody stools with a foul odor could be a number of things.  Fast your dog for 24 hrs then start with canned pumpkin (or sweet potato) and white rice cooked very soft.  If his stools are normal, slowly build up to his regular diet.  If he is still having the problem, you will have to get him checked out. He could have something like Giardia and will need medication.  Giardia is contagious to humans.

Good luck.
