Thanks!! Me too! It scared me to death.

Just Google "Hemorrhagic GastroEnteritis (HGE) in dogs". There is tons of info. When I did my research, yorkies were in the top 4 as common breeds. I had never heard of it before either.

The blood in the poop was from her intestines being irritated and the sides were sloughing (is that a word?) off. The blood was jelly like. TMI - sorry!
