Hey all... what a weekend! First, i finally got a hold of fumble's nutritionist! Phew! That took forever! We are going to try some new things now to see if we can't get him on a diet that doens't upset his little tummy.
But! Yesterday afternoon i noticed there was a little red in his stool. Well he pooped again 20 minutes after the first time and there was drippy red. i didn't know what to think, but it could have been strawberries that he ate that morning. although, i think i knew it wasn't likely to be true! because they don't digest like that! and well... it's fumble. So last night I waited until he went again, just to be sure. It was POURING AND THUNDERING! for like 5 hours straight here. I had to try to get him to go out because he doesn't like to poop when its raining out. But after standing outside like a drown rat for 20 minutes he finally started circling. AND.... drumroll... the blood was still there. I ran back inot the house got a bag to get the poop and called the ER Vet. We went over to the vet, all the while trying to get him into my jeep during a lightening storm! he didn't seem to notice anything was wrong though. so it was weird. So the vet tested him for dehydration and what not. Took blood sample and checked out the stool. After 2 1/2 hours they sent us on our way with an antibiotic. but now i have to watch for "shooting blood" coming out of his bum. If that happens then he'll have to go and get hospitalized and Ived. So who knows...
got to LOVE my bubble boy. never a dull moment in his life!

We do love him and hope for a speedy recovery.
I actually felt like we had a Fumble here for a bit this year. Right before Bear got neutered he had blood in his stool too which freaked me out. $200 later and 3 hours at the vet we found out it was round worm. Yucky! He got meds and was all better. After he got neutered he got bloody pee which horrified me. $200 later I found out he has a UTI. Again, meds made him all better but now I am more paranoid and check his pee (I do watch it coming out) and his poo very diligently to make sure he is ok.

Poor Fumble. Big hugs to both you and hope he gets better soon.

Poor Fumbs can't get a break either! We hope it's nothing serious and that it starts to pass soon. Rosie's had so many trips to the vet that it's become her second home.
