Bloody stool

[kellys2181]

I am very worried about my dog. He woke up this morning with bloody diarhea. We have an appointment at the vet this morning. I hope its not serious! :-(

[PatchO'Pits]

Is he up top date on vaccines?

Is he on worm preventative

Did he get into anything different, such as the garbage or eat a new food?

Hope he is ok

Keep us posted

[kellys2181]

Yes he is utd on vaccines, on heartworm, and on the same food. Nothing has changed. The vet took some tests and will get back to me tomorrow I hope. He is not eating or drinking. They gave him an IV today. He now just has blood coming out- no poop. Its absolutely awful.

[Pepsidoodle]

Oh I am sorry. I hope he gets better soon. Please tell us what vet says and try and get some sleep. Feel better puppy dog!!

[kellys2181]

Thank you. I think I am going to have to take him back to the vet tomorrow for another Iv since he wont eat or drink. I cant give him his medicine either because he has to take it with food. :-(

I am so sorry!! Have you tried giving him boiled chicken? If he takes to the chicken or something, you can put the med in that for him to take it. If he is not drinking water on his own at all , you can syringe it to him. Diarrhea causes dehydration, so I hope he is able to get fluids into him. Poor baby....sending good thoughts and prayers his way.

[kellys2181]

I have tried feeding him everything (even human food just to see if he would eat it). He wouldnt. I tried chicken, rice, the food the vet gave me, everything. I am so sad and worried about my baby. :-(

[kellys2181]

I have to take him in today to be hospitalized

[mom2bichons]

So sorry to hear that. What did they say was wrong?

[kellys2181]

They don't know yet...They tested his poop and said nothing was wrong with it. So they want me to bring him in for fluids, medicine, and more evaluation. I hate to leave him overnite but I know its what I have to do for him to get better.

[mom2bichons]

Well I hope they find out what is wrong and get him better quick. The best place for him to be now is in the care of professionals. I will keep you and him in my prayers.

[kellys2181]

Thank you. :-) You guys make me feel better. :-)

[Magnum]

I sure hope they find out why he is losing blood. There has to be a leak somewhere.:confused: Good thoughts and vibes sent.:(

[Pepsidoodle]

Sending warm fuzzies and hugs to you and your pup.

[kellys2181]

Thank you for the thoughts everyone. I just dropped him off. I am emotionally and physically exhausted. The blood smell in the house is making me sick and I cant get it to go away. I will let you know what the vet says....

[PatchO'Pits]

Have they checked for an obstruction???


I hope your baby is better soon.

[jojoalexis]

I hope he is OK - he is in the vet's hands now and will rest and hope he is home soon!!!!

[kellys2181]

Yes they did two abdominal xrays and didnt find anything. He is still there and hopefully they will find out more tomorrow.

[jojoalexis]

Keep us posted!!!! wishing you strength

[kellys2181]

Thank you. :-) I am still feeling exhausted from all of this. They want to keep him tonite too. Bloodwork came back normal. He still has the diareah and wont eat. Still on IV's and medicine. Please get better soon Lucky!!! We miss you so much!!!!!

[jojoalexis]

poor guy - the bloodwork is normal - that's good! try to remain positive and hopefully he will come home tomorrow

[kellys2181]

Yes I am hoping so! I would like to know whats causing this but I guess it's a good thing they havent found anything. :-) Thanks jojo.

[mom2bichons]

So sorry that Lucky is not better. Keep thinking good thoughts.

[JustJo]

This is really terrible! Sorry I am so late in getting to this. I am bamboozled why they are not finding anything. I send thoughts and prayers both your and Lucky's way.

[PatchO'Pits]

Any news on the pup?

[kellys2181]

No they havent found anything wrong still. All tests came back normal. He ate a tiny bit today. I am hoping they will let me visit him tomorrow. I miss him so much it gives me chest pains. :-(

[kellys2181]

I would like to let you all know that Lucky is home again and doing well! They never found out exactly what was wrong with him but he is a happy boy again!

[Magnum]

That is great that he is home!! Thanks for keeping us updated, but I sure wish they found out what caused him to lose blood. That is very strange, but at least he is home and happy. :)

[JustJo]

I sure am glad Lucky is home and doing well but am still bamboozled as to what caused this scary episode! Hope it never happens again! Lucky is very lucky to have you!

[kellys2181]

Thank you Jo. It is bamboozling (lol, is that a word) why the didn't find anything.

[jojoalexis]

maybe it was just a bad episode of dog being sick. Sounds like he is getting better YEAH!!!!

[kellys2181]

Yes he is woofing his food down like he use to!! Yes, It seems like it was just a stomach virus. (A scary stomach virus).

[PatchO'Pits]

I'm so glad he is better!:)

[kellys2181]

Me too! I am so glad it wasnt something serious.

[Madisynn]

So sorry to hear that. My boy is going through something similar that started late last night/early this morning. So your not alone, just thought maybe that might help. Best wishes for you and your baby.
