loss of appetite, blood in stools...

i have an 8 yr old miniature poodle.  she has always been a very picky eater, but in the last few days she has stopped eating.  I have tried all her favorites, (chicken, hamburger, cheese, hot dogs) and at most she takes a nibble.  She has lost weight and her stool is soft, with bright red blood and smells very bad. She also has bad breath and I noticed her teeth in the very back of her mouth have tartar. I made an appointment with the vet for tomorrow morning, but I'm worried and would like to know what could be wrong with her and what I should expect tomorrow.

Welcome.....There are too many things that could be wrong...It would be impossible for us to guess......I will say that she does need a Dental and her teeth cleaned....The blood in stool could be caused from food change or too rich of foods (Including Hot Dogs), digestive problems, colon problems, parasites, or a number of diseases, etc....Too many things to list! Good for you to get her to her Vet!

I do wish you luck tomorrow...Let us know what you find out.....Karla
