Blood in stool/ just after finishing antibiotics

Clayton who is 15 weeks old  just finished his 2nd round of antibiotics last week.  He sounded congested and my vet put him on clavamox for a week .  That did not seem to clear it up so we then had him on a different round of antibiotics for 2 weeks.  Well last night I noticed blood after he went #2 outside.  I wiped him with a baby wipe and it was a little bloody.  I checked the stool and saw a little blood in it.  He is currently eating Eukanuba puppy lamb and rice and normally has hard stool but this stool was much softer.  Our last vet appointment they had checked his stool and it was fine.  He goes back on Tuesday.  He is acting 100% normal eating drinking playing etc. His breeder had suggested not giving the antibiotics and trying an antihistamine that maybe the congestion was from allergies... I read that blood in stool could be caused from allergies??? has anyone experienced this??? I am at work and my husband told me he just had a normal stool sample with no blood??   Thanks in Advance for your help

Could be an irritated bowel from all the meds.

You can try soothing it with a little plain, fat free yogurt mixed in his food. About a tablespoon, 2x daily in meals. I give my girls that every single day just to keep them from being gassy:-) it helps with digestion and soothes irritated tummies and such:-)
