Do I need to get my dog to the emergency vet tonight? does he even need to go to the vet?

Yes you do. It's not normal to have blood in their stools/poop. Also dogs, like other animals, are very good at hiding when they are ill.

Your dog is drinking lots of water because he/she is probably dehydrated (lack of fluid) due to the diarrhoea and this can become very serious - so take your dog and get them checked out asap. The blood might just be because of the diarrhoea irritating the lining of the bowel, but still needs to get checked.

I agree with seeker ...get your dog to the vet.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
