I would take her to an emergency vet if possible or at least send them a photo of this. It's 6 days now and although she's eating she not improved greatly. It's not going to go on its own if it's been this long and when I get to this stage with Rory it only clears up with anti biotics.

I'm not sure, even if they've been given she may need a different type?
I agree, if it were either of my dogs I would have them at the emergency vet after 6 days with that degree of diarrhoea and blood.

After 6 days and, still this I would also ring the emergency vet. Hunter had something very similar to this but the poop got OK after 3 days. Does her wee also have blood in it? Hunter was also given antibiotics and food to help try settle his stomach.
So sorry you are going through this but good news she is eating

Yes, or least speak to them for advice and reassurance.

Agreed, not much experience of this but she's clearly not right.

She’s still refused the pumpkin but had some pasta.I would try and get her to eat pumpkin and pasta, just a little bit. Is she drinking? Let her do her own thing sleep or go for a slow walk.
When Fred had blood in his poo, he had more than your photo
Just to recap @Naya Has your vet given her anything to help her?
the vet gave us esomezaprole and prokolin.
No blood in her wee.After 6 days and, still this I would also ring the emergency vet. Hunter had something very similar to this but the poop got OK after 3 days. Does her wee also have blood in it? Hunter was also given antibiotics and food to help try settle his stomach.

I phoned the out of hours vets and sent the photo. They are happy that she is eating and drinking. They said that if she has more stools like this to try and capture them before they hit the grass and give them another call. I told them I was worried that it was salmonella and they said it’s possible and that it will work its way out.
I think because it’s New Year’s Eve they don’t want to see anyone unless it’s an absolute emergency.

Yes Fred had antibioics and Prokolin, but I couldn't get Fred to take the prokolin. Try and just coat the pasta with a little pumpkin.
Have you have got a old milk container, cut the sides down leaving the handle for you to hold. So you can put it under her.

If it is Salmonella it will work its way out. However, I am not sure it is, more colitis and a bug from the photo.

Harley is clearly feeling better. She was demanding breakfast at 7.30am. Her poo isn’t pure liquid, but is no where near formed. No more blood either which is great. She has had 2 short walks today too 
. She is staying on a bland diet for a few more days and we will slowly transition to her normal food and see how she gets on.
I did notice that she wasnt limping at all on our second walk which is huge progress.
