Welcome to HCM. Sorry about this situation. I am sure that a bleeding hemorrhoid is not an emergency, only if you have been told so by a doctor in the past. Tjhe issue is one truly does not know how much blood loss has occurred. He needs to be evaluated and the fact that you say there is pus is also more worrisome, a visit to the ER is an insurance policy, you do not want to sit on a potentially fatal issue without having it checked out. Good luck and let me know if I can be of any other help.
