That's a circumstance that few people face.

There are a lot of potential causes for bloody poop
or bloody diarrhea, and while it does need to be dealt with
an over-the-top reaction is probably not going to be all
that helpful in practice.

..........I think for the ordinary or new pet owner it's good to run to the
vet with bloody stools. If a vet has not educated a client as to the adverse
warning signs associated with Rimadyl (which unfortunately I think still
occurs more often than not), it could mean the difference between life and
death. The more pets people have had over the years, the more educated they
are about health conditions and meds, etc. the more they're able to decide
whether or not it's an emergency. The general public, however, is not as
involved in health care issues WRT their pets as some of the people here
are. I just wouldn't call it over the top to go to the vet with this issue
if you're not familiar with causes of bloody stools.
