Michelleva Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Last night Georgia came inside, after being outside for over an hour and did a sloppy poo on the tiles. On inspection it actually had quite a bit of blood and mucus in it. I've booked her in for a vet visit, but couldn't get in till 5pm. I didn't give her any breakfast, so her tummy can settle down. Should I feed her today or leave it till she's seen the vet? She's a 1 yo sheltie. She's fine in herself, happily playing and harassing the cats.

megan_ Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Don't feed her as the vet might want to take a blood test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persephone Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Going without food won't hurt her, and will give her gut a rest Make sure she has plenty to drink ,though-but don't force her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jsk Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Where do you live? Could she have gotten a cane toad?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelleva Posted January 31, 2011 Author Share Posted January 31, 2011 Where do you live?Could she have gotten a cane toad?? No, I'm in Melbourne. The only thing I can think of that she had yesterday, that she hasn't had before was some liver treats, but they were made from pork liver, I normally buy the beef liver ones. We did some training in the afternoon and she had some then, but not a huge quantity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kasoo Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Hi Michelleva, I also have a sheltie who has a very sensitive stomache. She would also end up with blood/mucus in her poos or full on diarrhoea after eating anything different than her Iaams dry food. Liver treats, cheese, pigs ears, schmackos would give her an upset stomache. My vet is happy with her just on Iaams dry food. Give her a break from food for today to let her stomache settle. I found treats for training were getting scarce for my dog. She is very food driven. We did find that plain cooked chicken worked well. So over the weekend I roasted 4 chicken breasts which I then chopped into tiny treat size cubes, bagged them and stuck them in the freezer. I just pull out a bag each morning to defrost in the fridge. Afternoon training is back on. :rolleyes: It might be just trial and error to find out what works for your dog. Try just a little of something new and see what happens for the following 24hrs. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelleva Posted February 1, 2011 Author Share Posted February 1, 2011 Thanks Kasoo. I'll wait and see what the vet says, she may have an issue with a particular type of food. At the moment she's on royal canin dry and raw meaty bones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
becks Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 If she passes anymore blood, insist that the vet sees her earlier, it can be very serious if left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelleva Posted February 1, 2011 Author Share Posted February 1, 2011 She hasn't done anymore since last night. She's been eating some iceblocks, because its so damn hot here. And she thought my lunch smelt really good.... she's seems ok in herself. She's currently barking at something outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
