Usually with all but very freshly expelled blood onto an absorbent surface(as in medical supply absorbent pads placed under patients), the edges of the blood will fairly quickly begin to separate into liquid serum and appear lighter in color as the coagulation of the blood begins and platelets begin to clump together. None of the stains on the pad have that appearance anywhere along the stain. That and the fact there are no smears or prints in the blood are puzzles.
Still, what is most important to us all is the well-being of the little puppy, why he wasn't immediately rushed to the vet and what caused the staining and if he's going to be okay. It's worrisome that apparently there was no urgent attempt to get a diagnosis made or treatment rendered right after the stained pad was discovered. Also, the narrative is confusing about what happened and why and when he subsequently did see any vets and what they actually did for him as glucose tests for dehydration and other un-named tests, along with a recommended liver test, don't seem to address the matter of the staining on the potty pad.
