Don't know anything about blood or diarrhea, I have read that sometimes they get runny stools from switching to a new food too fast, if you are seeing a vet maybe you could bring in a stool sample, especially if it has blood. Ask your vet, but I think I read that the stool sample can be refrigerated until it's time to test. Like I said, it could be that your boys fed human food, getting them to admit it might be a problem. If this were the case the diarrhea would probably clear up on its own as long as no more human food was given. Belly bands can be purchased at most pets stores, they are a simple wrap that goes around the dogs middle, and usually Velcro closed. Used with a sanitary pad, they are really helpful. Many of our members make really cute ones, and there a must for unneutered dogs, but even neutered dogs can use them especially when visiting company. Here's a link to Yorkietalk members, store sites, some of them make the Belly bands, or some people call them tummy wraps.

I know you have lots on your mind right now, but I wanted to tell you about the black light that Petsmart sells, I think you can get it with Natures Miracle the enzyme cleaner, I was telling you about earlier. Your boys might be the age where they would enjoy playing detective with the black light and finding any "evidence", using the enzyme spay, will effectively get rid of the "evidence" and the dog won't continue to return to the scene of the crime. The black light allows you to see urine stains where there doesn't seem to be any stain to the human eye. However the dog can smell these proteins and will continue to return to that spot.
I think most people here bath their dogs, once a week so that should be fine.
