during the clinic for 4day. vet did use steroids injection (think for one day).. but after that no. expect now.

Dont think steroids can last so long right?

That depends, some steroids are long lasting and can have an effect for many many days, some can last a whole month.

I think the steroids was the reason why your dog's allergy problems went away for a while.

I havent come across using steroids to control diarrhea, unless the diarrhea was caused by an immune-mediated complex but even then the dose (at least for me) will be low and short.

Best to figure out what is truly at the heart of the issue and deal accordingly.

Depredil can last for one month, if the last use of steroids is in June then it seem unlikely that steroids caused this latest bout of bloody diarrhea.

Indeed. Best to discuss with your attending vet on next best course of action. Given that its bleeding from lower intestines, I think it would be possible for the scope to reach those abnormal ulcers and get a sample

Err..bronchoscopy visualizes the airway, endoscopy is just a catch all term for anything that allows the operator to visualize inside your body with a scope...
