How old is your pup? It could be coccidia, which is bloodly, smelly diarrhea. AWFUL stuff. Most puppies have it in their system and their immume system can handle it. BUt a change of environment or some other stress can cause it to overcome the immune system. A simple fecal test will diagnose it. The treatment is Albon for 10 days and possible flagyl or metronidazle for the diarrhea.

Keep us posted as to her progress.

Also, you need to immediately change her diet to boiled chicken and boiled white rice. It's easier to digest and will help settle her tummy.

Has she had her parvo vaccine?
