I just got a 10 week old Pit Bull puppy. He had been dewormed and had his first shots about a week ago. He started getting diarrhea yesterday and now I am seeing a little blood in his stool. I'm going to mix a little white rice in his food and give him Pedialyte. Should I be too worried?

I would be very worried Blood in stool could be serous. At the very least, give the vet a call
don't give him pedialyte or any liquid besides water until a vet has seen him, the blood is a sign of a problem that pedialyte won't fix
I would definitely take him to the vet for a check-up. In the meantime, boiled white rice and boiled unseasoned chicken should be fine, along with Pedialyte to rehydrate him.
This could be the beginnings of parvo, a virus that is often fatal. Your puppy needs to be tested by a Vet and may need supportive care to pull through.
