Riley is really my husbands pup.. He's attached to him by apron strings. My husband had to go out of town for a week... We ran out of Rileys regular dog food and my husband gave him some dry Eukanuba..The next day I got his regular food and fed him.. He's had a very soft stool all week, with some diarrhea.. He goes out to potty and after he had a bowel movement I saw him straining to go again... Last night I notice a tiny bit of blood .. I'm hoping it's from him straining.. I gave him some plain white rice last night. This morning his soft stool was green in color.. He's very active, not lethargic at all.. Should I take him to the Vet.? My husband is coming home tomorrow and said I should wait... I don't have thousands of dollars for the vet right now...

I read something here about giving the pup canned pumpkin to help with his soft stool ? Is that correct?

He ate all the rice yesterday, but this morning just ate a little of it..

He's drinking his water...
