My dog, Lana, a 4-year-old, has been pooping just blood since yesterday. She seems more thirsty than usual and has had this issue twice in the past two months. The first time, she was given diarrhea relief meds and a bland diet of rice, hamburger, and pumpkin. This time, she is also having runny stool but is pooping blood on its own. What should I do?

My dog, Socks, age 7, has a possible foxtail in her paw. She is licking it incessantly, and we live in Northern California where foxtails are prevalent. Should I take her to the ER if the foxtail has been in her paw for a while, or should I try a more conservative treatment first?
