i just talked to the er vet they told me she probley has hook worm she got it last year to given that she is acting fine eating and drinking said to bring a stool sample in in the morning to check but no need for a er visit tonight

Was it a lot of blood or trace amounts? That's good that the vet was able to talk to you over the phone! $300 is a lot! Our emergency vet is $80 and I think that's expensive! Of course, when I've had to take the little guys, I've done it in a heartbeat Little boogers! LOL!

Oh my I didn't see this...
How is the dog??? Was the stool loose??? And was it red blood?? Red blood is ok, where black or digested blood is not. Sometimes just straining can cause capillaries to break.
Where is the dog going where s/he is picking up hooks???

Has the loose stools continued??? If it has you can try chicken and rice and Immodium (dosage depends on weight). And make sure you get fecal done on her.
Is she on a monthly heartworm preventitive????
