Default Romeo - bloody, mucus poop and more..

The first time I took Romeo to the vet they told me he had worms and coccydia.. they gave him medicine for the worms but the vet told me he didnt want Romeo to take the medicine for coccydia because he was so small and he wanted to wait until he was up to 2 pounds. ( he was 1.7 pounds then)

So I came home and he was doing fine from all his puppy shots and everything.. On May 25th I took him back to get his last puppy shot and they tested his stool...they didnt find any of the coccydia but because he was 2 pounds now they wanted to start him on the Albon for the coccydia just incase they had missed it or he had some dormant in him. So they gave him the medicine and I continued to give it to him for 3 days after. His poop was finally starting to get harder and not-so-soft and I was so excited.

Then on Friday May 27th I was at the gym and my sister called me and told me that Romeo had pooped yellow jello poop with blood at the end.. and that he had thrown up yellow bile...so I rushed home and looked at it.. It looked like he had pooped out a lung pretty much. It started out yellow then was kind of clear with bloody vein looking things at the end. I called the vet and they told me because he was on an antibotic that it was probably irritating his intestine so they wanted me to get him some yogurt... which I did and I guess everything was fine.

On Wenesday June 1st Romeo went back to get his rabis shot and everything was fine that whole day and all of Thursday..

Then on Friday (June 3rd) I was with Romeo in the morning and he was acting very strange..lathargic and when he was laying by me he was shaking. He didnt eat or drink anything the whole morning, and wasnt interested in treats. Then he pooped that yellow jello poop and there was blood at the end of it. He literally went around the living room pooping this stuff for about 15 minutes.. then he laid by me shaking again. So i called the vet and they told me to bring him in and I did.

They checked him all over. He had lost .6 pounds (He was 2 pounds on Wednesday and then on that day he was 1.94) They gave him some food and he ate that (this was at about 2:00pm and he hadnt eaten anything all day before that) they checked the mucus/blood stool that I had brought and they said they couldnt find any parasites in it but because it was mostly mucus/blood that they couldnt really rely on that so they put him BACK on the Albon antibotic and this time they want him to take it for 7 days. I don't really understand this because the other vet when I took him the first time was so cautious to put him on it in the first place because he is so small.

Now he has been on the Albon since Friday and then yesterday he threw up twice but it was just puppy food.. so I don't know if his stomach is just upset or what?

I give him about two tablespoons of dry food 4 times a day and
he eats normal and drinks normal.. he is still playful most of the time but then once in awhile he'll act kind of lathargic and tired.

I'm just wondering.. what should I do? Am i worrying too much? Is this normal? Should I take him to a different vet or what? They didn't even tell me WHAT causes mucus/bloody stool and i'm really worried about my puppy...
