Helenridley · #11 (**permalink**) 21-03-2008, 07:33 AM

he was wormed again last week - right on scedule. But the blood has really dissappeared. Think i figured out what it was....i was feedingim too much!!!!

He must have been straining! I have brought a "puppy cup" to measure out exactly how much he sould be having and it ha made the world of difference! all my fault...silly owner!
Thanks guys!

Hi,
I would take your dog back to the vets and asked for a fecal exam. (poo sample exam.).
Diarrhea is never normal nor any gastrointestinal bleeding.
Good luck.

Hi,

We have had the same prob with our westie. We have had him for 3 weeks now, and for the first 2 weeks he had soft stools with blood in them. Then last week we took him to the vets who gave him PROKOLIN - which is like healthy bacteria for the gut - and some ANTIBIOTICS. He is absolutely fine now and doing proper little poos! I would suggest you go back to the vets and ask about antibiotics and get them to take his temperature.

Good Luck!

Hello

We had this with a pup. Vet was skeptic but it turned out they dont know or want to treat a young pup with Colitis much less diagnose one. We were there nearly every other day until they HAD to treat this poor little very sick puppy who was badly underweight and undersize. Some puppies/dogs cannot absorb food properly. We eventually got a diet that suited him but he was over six months old.

Our advice to anyone is, dont be fobbed off - keep going back to your vet insisting they do something and if they wont, change your vet.

Any help? we are VERY SLOWLY changing his food to a more complete dry mix, but it is still happening.

The other thing is that even though he will now poo and wee out side when we go on our walks, he will still only have "dribbles" of poo/dioreah (how ever you spell it!) but have propper poos when in doors! is this just a work in progress? the weather? change in situation? or just max being max??!!! Help - first dog - still dont know whats normal and whats not!!! Thanks, Helen

You could add a tablespoon of lie yoghurt to his food - good for keeping the gut healthy it won't do any harm but I would certainly press the vet for more tests it it continues

Hi, She has Colitis, so a course of antibiotics, some paste stuff and a special diet for a week, she also had an injection on the day to stop the sickness although I must admit they prescribed 2 & 1/2 tins of the food a day and its not really enough its all i can do to stop her eating the other dogs food. She is fine in herself still tormenting my other dog and bounding all over the place.

Get to the Vet ASAP - blood is NEVER a good sign.
