My brother has a 13 week old puppy and it is been pooping in piles and it is all liquid and the piles are very high, and today she goes to the bathroom alot and my brother takes her outside and when they let her in and she goes the bathroom on our floor and I cleaned up 2 messes today and there is blood in her poop and it is all liquid also and since she came here and she has been still popping the same way and i am worried that something is wrong with the puppy.

It is a golden retriever.
It is a girl.
she is 13 or 14 weeks old now and we got her a couple weeks ago.
my mom bought the puppy for $200.00
what do you all think?
Whatever people call it , blood in stool or blood in the poop that is all liquid.
It stinks and has bad odor and yuck and i hate cleaning that up and it is so gross.

Get that girl to a Vet ASAP. It could be parvo and she needs treatment NOW.
I found this description of parvo symptoms on a web site.

Symptoms

There is a broad range in the severity of symptoms shown by dogs that are infected with parvovirus. Many adult dogs exposed to the virus show very few if any symptoms. The majority of cases are seen in dogs less than 6 months of age, with the most severe cases seen in puppies younger than 12 weeks of age. There are also significant differences in response to CPV-2 infections and vaccines among different breeds of dogs, with Rottweilers, Doberman Pinschers, and Labrador Retrievers being more susceptible than other breeds.

The most common form of the disease is the intestinal form known as enteritis. CPV-2 enteritis is characterized by vomiting (often severe), diarrhea, dehydration, dark or bloody feces, and in severe cases, fever and lowered white blood cell counts. Acute CPV-2 enteritis can be seen in dogs of any breed, sex, or age. The disease will progress very rapidly and death can occur as early as two days after the onset of the disease. The presence of gram negative bacteria, parasites, or other viruses can worsen the severity of the disease and slow recovery.

vet....could be parasites could be a disease - get the puppy to a vet and take some pooh with you so a fecal exam can be done.

My first thought would be to have the vet take a look. I've gone through the same things with my Goldens. It could be a number things. Also something I learned after getting my first Golden, is that many have IBS and they can occasionally have blood in the stool. However, the symptoms you described sound like something more severe. Hope by now you have taken her to the vet. Hope she is doing better!!!

VET VET VET My lab had same problem as a pup turned out she was o.k. her colon was so irritated from making so much. She was put on a special diet for a couple months which almost cost me my house. But shes back to normal now. Better be safe then sorry. Let us know what the vet says.

whenever blood is involved.....VET immediately. same with humans......when theres blood...get it checked. most times its treatable and not at all fatal......but never "wait and see".
