Blood In Dogs Stools

[barney1]

Hi,

I have a 1 year old ridgeback. In the last week he has been passing stools with a few drops of bright red blood.

The few drops comes out first and then followed by his stool. There is no blood mixed up in the stool, just a few drops before it comes out.

A few weeks before hand he has a chronic case of diarrhea, but all seem to clear up after a week and some drugs from the vet.

He seems totally normal. The blood drops only started last week.

I have taken him to the vet- she is getting me to put him on a special diet, but shorly this could not be causing him to bleed.

He has been on the same diet ever since we brought him hom and i have not changed his food.

Anyone had the same problems????

yes my pup had blood in poo but it was on top of poo, vet said it was colitus (not sure of spelling) where the bowl is irritated he said he should have a bland diet and gave me some tabs also not sure what they were but seemed to correct itself soon after I have noticed my pup is senstive to food changes
