Bloody stool......somebody please tell me this is normal!!
« on: March 31, 2006, 07:33:16 am »
Teddy has had a couple of stools with blood is them.  Last night, on his overnight paper, I found a spot that was all red, about 1.5" across with a tiny piece of soft poop in it.  I'm starting to get a little freaked!

He is acting, eating, and drinking normally.

He was wormed and had his 2nd set of shots a week ago (Mar. 23).  He has also thrown up at least 3 times since his vet visit.  Could the blood in the stool be because of the wormer or a reaction to the vaccinations? 

I took a sample in to the vet this morning and they are going to take a look.  Has anyone else had this trouble with their pup?

Somebody please tell me this is normal and is nothing to worry about!  Please??

Bubba had this once. The vet gave some antibiotics I believe and everything cleared up. If it's bright red blood it's nothing too too serious. Means it's coming directly from the bowel.

Edit, my post didn't sound right.. I'm still half asleep. lol

Wait to hear what the vet says.  I've only had that problem once when Lady swallowed a piece of stick that hurt on the way out. 
Let us know...and don't freek till you hear about the sample.  :) OK?

Doc said that nothing showed in the sample from today but she would like another sample next week "hot off the press" as she put it  :D.  She said its probably nothing to worry about, maybe just a broken blood vessel or something sratchy in his stool, but she wants to do a smear test for giardia and coccidia - just to be certain.
She also wants me to keep a diary about his poops!  LOL!  What we don't do for our dogs!

That's good news.  It happens...and they do eat what is on the ground which is often a little hard on their bottoms. 
:)  Glad nothing's wrong with the little guy.

Hi,

How old is Teddy? Winslow went through a short bout of bloody stool at like 3 months. It was just him getting used to being a little firmer in the stool department.
