IT had several stools today, from three were solid and one was a bit soft, another one runny and this one. I took the picture if its inapropriate remove it but its urgent!
What is this. It's late i dont know if any vet's are working 24h
It looks to me like there is blood in this and I would be taking the pup to the vet for an urgent appointment for some intervention. I don't think this is something you should be playing a waiting game at home with.

Hi Nikola,..your pup has blood in the stool..this could be caused by worm burden,an infection,( giardia,e coli)etc..
It is something you must see a vet for as he will test the faces( take some of the poo in a clean plastic food bag) and tell you if pup needs a wormer tablet or an antibiotic..if you go today,it will be a simple fast visit..relatively low cost.
If you leave the pup without treatment,he will rapidly become dehydrated and the results / costs will be more serious..
Be sure your pup is drinking plenty of water and definitely get to the vet.if he becomes lethargic you should go to the ER vet..as this can become life threatening if you delay taking pup in.
Will you let us know how you get on?Hope he's ok.
Sorry i'm not a native English speaker, and i was stressed out.
She was taken to the vet imidietly i forgot that there was one ,,vet station`` that works 24 hours a day.
She was checked up and vet told me to come in the morning. he was really playful all the time.
She had a total of 7-8 bloody stools like the one in the pic.
In the morning she was taken to the vet as soon as they had couple of doctors in, and after a checkup and test she was negative on diseases, no worms were showing in the stool but we need to take sample today for microscope check.
Now here is something strange.
Im feeding her royal canin, now without anything in it like yoghurt or other things. I've coocked up some rice and gave her baked chicken meat first and she would chow it down in no time, didnt like the rice tough .
After some time she pooped hard stool and at the end of it there was little runny stool but nothing serious.
Later that evening i gave her rice mixed with just a little bit of Royal Canin for puppies just 10-12 granules and mashed it all up and she ate it. Stool than was good and this morning i added more granules and rice and stool was Ok but has that runny on the end and a bit bloody.
Called vet again and now waiting for another checkup to carry it to the vet's office to see if its parasites ( some microscopic ones)
BUt it did happen out of the blue.
She is really playful, bites anything she can now running arround the house, like nothing is wrong.
But i think that a vet is a bit stunned because she should be playful like this
She was all ok for almost 2 days and this morning, she had overnight 2 regular poop's and two mucus/gooey/gelatinous type of poops with a bit of blood.
Found small worm in the normal-ish poop and i've noticed she was farting a bit, and when i press her tummy i head small noise like she is farting or something is in the stomach.
These were the last one from 30 min's ago. Except the smallest red'est ones. She wont eat now, doesn't have appetite and wants to play still. Gave her another pill ( first one was on 17th, the one before that was almost a month before it ) 2 days ago, and it was ok after it than this happened. From Mini schnauzer's forum from my country, one of the breeders recommended to me that i buy another one, probably a btter one, and give her 3 days straight on empty stomach.
I just want to get her to survive trough it all
Nikola, it is scary but try to keep calm. I am a little confused about the worming pills you have been given so please talk it through with your vet so you know exactly what to do next. I wouldn't give any more worming treatments until you have seen your vet. Your pup clearly has or has had worms and this needs to be addressed first. I would also stick to the bland diet you have been giving, the boiled chicken and rice rather than the Royal Canin puppy until your pups stools start to look something like normal. Then you need to reintroduce the Royal Canin puppy food very slowly mixing it in with the chicken and rice and then slowly reducing the chicken and rice. Hopefully Izi can get through this. The fact she has been playing is very good news in that she feels well in herself. Good luck.
Man cannot survive with wine alone...
we also need a schnauzer.
Nikola - although Forum members can sympathise with your worries, only a vet can diagnose and advise re treatment. You should be showing the photos to your vet rather than posting them on this or other online Forums. Even if there is a vet on the Forum, they cannot diagnose without examining Izi and knowing her history.
I do hope that your vet can help but you really must not be following advice re what pills to give Izi from any member of a Forum in your country or this one.

I dont really trust the vet's here. I've been breeding AST's for a long time and have friends that are doing it ,,proffesionally`` and no one came accross something like this in years. Even the vet was a bit stunned.
Test's showed negative for disases.
The stool sample is two days now at the vet's, didnt have time to check it up yet.
From my view and ,,poop inspection`` i found worm inide, i taught that se ate rope or something that dind get digested first time 3 days ago after the pill but now its obvious it's worm infection, and really spread one..
I posted pic's if any one has seen something similar becaue this looks really specific.
Which country are you in?
If your pup has worms the vet MUST prescribe for you a wormer specific for that parasite..
Over the counter meds won't be efficient..you need a good vet....this pup will become very ill indeed if you leave this days and days.
Nikola,given your country,I wil advise you to go to the farmacia and buy puppy drontal...follow the instructions carefully....
Seriously,if you keep giving medications without knowing the cause,you could injure the puppy...
If you have actually seen a worm,drontal should get the pup worm free...
You will need to give another treatment around six months..
The roundworms come from the mother,whilst the pup is in the womb...but cause a lot of damage to a young pup if they are untreated.
Please will you let us know how you get on...
I did see a worm and i actually already bought drontal. I just found out that the woman who works in that pet shop market is actually a vet that gives advice to new puppy owners.
By her recommendations 3 days on empty stomack 1/4 of drontal, today was day 2 and the last two days you cant imagine what she has been popping out. There were literally dozens of worms small and bigger and white/yellowish dots that i think are probably the egs because she didnt eat anything for a day almost.
Now she's feeling great, and eats better ( coocked chicken and rice)
I wasnt givnig meds on my own, but from what i figure the first meds for de-worming didnt work at all
