Our Bernese Mtn Dog pup is about 12 weeks old and has had occasional blood-tinged stools. It doesn't happen with every BM, nor does it happen every day.
He had found a bone in the yard that I have no idea where it came from and didn't see that he was chewing on it right away, so I don't know how long he was chewing on it. When I did see him chewing it, I tossed it, but he found it again a few days later and he was having more frequent BMs...softer than usual, but not runny, after he was chewing on that bone.
Could the bone have something to do with the blood in his stools? We took him for a new puppy check about 3 weeks ago and had a fecal done, which turned out fine. He has DE on his food and had heartguard to help keep him parasite free.
Any ideas? He has to go in soon for a distemper booster, so I can ask them about it when we go in unless y'all think we should call them sooner.
