| Maddox is pooping blood - a lot of blood Maddox is at the vet right now. When I got home last night I saw that he'd had diarrhea and I could tell he didn't feel well. He was drinking water, didn't seem dehydrated and was active - just not as much as usual - so I decided to wait until morning and then take him in if he wasn't any better. He didn't have any more bouts of diarrhea during the night. But about 4:00am his stomach started making loud gurgling noises. Just minutes before my alarm clock went off he curled up against me and whimpered a couple of times. I already knew we were headed to see the doctor. We got out of bed and I followed him to see if he would eat or drink. Instead, he went to a potty pad and pooped a BIG puddle of dark red blood - no poop, just blood. Every few steps after that he's squat a little and more blood would drop out. I raced to get dressed, scooped up a sample of the red puddle, wrapped his messy bottom in a town and headed straight for the vet. The doctor wasn't in yet so I left him there while I came on to work. I'm waiting for a call from them now. Any ideas what could be wrong? Does the dark red blood mean something good/bad? Please, please pray for my baby! I'm so scared. Bonny

| Dark blood is considered "old" blood. If it is red then it is new blood which means he is still bleeding somewhere. Prayers are with you and Maddox now. Hope all turns out alright and it is nothing major. Hugs!!!

Donating YT 500 Club Member | Oh Bonny, I'm sorry, I know it's scary for you both. Had Maddox ate anything different? Sophie Kate had a couple of episodes of bloody stool (last summer), similar to what you're describing. The one thing the vet and I narrowed it down to was the Cheerios I would sometimes give as snacks. Either the grains or the sugars Renee thinks caused the problems. Since then she doesn't get Cheerios and hasn't had a another episode. Hoping your hear soon and all is okay with your little guy.

| When coming out the rectum, dark red blood usually means the blood is coming from higher up in the intestinal tract, not down around the anus area from like a hemorrhoid. I hope your little one is ok. Please keep in touch. We will be praying. |
