hamish-n-andy Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 (edited) My dog has blood in her poo. Can change of dry food do this? or worming? She wont eat her mince but she will happily eat chicken. Other than that there really is nothing else that would tell me shes sick. Having dogs is becoming a nightmare!!!

puggy_puggy Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Could be the worming. How long ago did you do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gsdog2 Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Could be the worming. How long ago did you do it? Yesterday and i think that was her first poop since.. Is she up to date with her vaccinations - it can be a sign of Parvo, (also has a smell you never forget). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamish-n-andy Posted November 25, 2008 Author Share Posted November 25, 2008 Is she up to date with her vaccinations - it can be a sign of Parvo, (also has a smell you never forget). yes she had her vaccinations about a month ago. she has no other signs of that.. she actually has no signs of anything, shes still happy, shes accepting treats and water. shes basically herself. there is really no other explanation. i have read one of the other threads on here that said the say thing happened and they found worms in the poo.

gsdog2 Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 (edited) If it's worms (hookworm) you won't actually see the worm in the "poo". It's usually very dark and it can look almost like tar. Is the "poo" runny/slimy - sorry - or normal? There are sooo many different reasons for blood in the poo (obstruction in the bowel - is she straining?). If it was me and this has been going on all day I would have her at the vet first thing in the morning or sooner if she deteriates. Sorry but it's just a guessing game trying to figure it out over the net. PS As awful as it sounds the vet would appreciate a "sample" if you do decide to take her in.

~*Shell*~ Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Zero had this and it ended up being the equivalent of gastro. A few days of boiled chicken and rice and some antibiotics and he was back to normal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamish-n-andy Posted November 26, 2008 Author Share Posted November 26, 2008 If she's ok this morning I would worm her again in 2 weeks time :rolleyes: She had no blood in her poo which is *good* but it was runny still *bad*. im not worried at the moment though because she has a very sensitive gut and i have been giving her all different minces to see what she likes. I'll just have to watch her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InspectorRex Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Geez we all seem to be having a run of health issues with our furkids at the moment. You need to get the dog to a Vet and get Vet to do a full check up and yes if you can take a Poop sample with you and ask for a faecal float and analysis to be done. The Vet will more than likely give you something like Peptosyl or Scourban and tell you to feed boiled chicken and rice for a few days and Nothing else . May give you electrolytes to out in the dog's water. Here if runny poop has not resolved after 24hrs of Peptosyl and chicken and rice then it is off the the Vets. Dogs cannot tell us what is wrong so we have to do our best to get them Vet treatment when there is a health issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
