Alfie02 Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Hi all, Im a bit worried about my old boy ted. He was feeling under the weather just two weeks ago and we noticed he was drinking alot of water. So of course we took him to he vets. At the vets they felt his abdomen and he yelped. They also felt a small lump on his beely and said it was a mass on his muscle. They took a urine sample and that ruled out diabeties. They then took all his bloods and a week later, they came back all clear. He is now his happy self again, but im still worried as this afternoon when he pooed on our walk, it was very runny and it had blood in it. I am not sure what to do as they have done every test on him and they came back clear. Am I just worrying about nothing? Thanks in advance!

poochmad Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 I would call the vet first and explain what happened and they can advise you on whether it's related to the episode last week. Or if you are really worried, take the dog to the vet and monitor his stools between now and then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isabel964 Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Oh dear, yes I agree, let the vet know. He may have missed a test and your additional information could help with a diagnosis. I hope he is ok soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfie02 Posted March 29, 2011 Author Share Posted March 29, 2011 (edited) Yeah, i will give the vets a ring, or i mite just pop in tomorrow and tell them what is happening. Im not sure what other tests they can run? They did the full bloods and everything just a week ago. Is there anything I should ask them to test for? He has had skin cancers cut off last year, now he has the lump in his stomach and now the runny, bloody poos....im just so worried about him cos he is my baby boy Edited to add: Thanks for the relplies :D Edited March 29, 2011 by Alfie02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andisa Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Is he on any medication? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirty Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Did they do a fine needle aspirate on the lump? Did they do xrays or ultrasound on the mass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormie Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Try not to worry too much. It's not that uncommon for dogs to get some blood in their stools when they have a bit of diarrhoea - when their colon gets irritated it can bleed a little. Definitely run it past your Vet though, but don't stress about it yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarlett Dog Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 did they find out what the mass was? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfie02 Posted March 30, 2011 Author Share Posted March 30, 2011 Andisa; he is not currently on medication but has been on and off steriod treatments for most of his life (we understand the risks of these) Kirty; No they havent done anything to the lump yet, they said to keep an eye on it (we check it everyday for any change) Stormie; Thanks for the reasurance I am definaltey hoping that it is just some irritation Scarlet dog; No, they havent found out what the mass is just yet, they told us to monitor it for now. Thanks so much for the relpies every one I went and talked to the vets today and they looked over his history again and said just to monitor him and keep a close eye on any changes. So thats a bit of relief Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
