It could be due to several things but since you mentioned that he was straining
a bit it's probably just from that. The redder the blood is the lower in the
intestinal tract it originated. If it's really dark, almost brown blood then
that usually indicates a bleed in the stomach or upper portions of the GI
tract. But bright red blood comes from pretty far down and can come from things
like straining. The fact that it was runny with some blood in it may just mean
that his GI tract is irritated. If it continues then your vet will probably
want to put Tweezer on some medication. It could be a GI bug of some kind. Good
luck and I hope it turns out to be nothing too serious for Tweezer.
