 Black runny stools are a sign!
Please learn by my mistake !!
My Ted began having dark black loose stools around Wednesday, on and off. But Hh has been active. Playing. Eating fine. Not acting sick at all. The only "thing" is his stools have been black.
My bichon and poodle also began to have stomach probs, so I took them all to the ER vet yesterday. Holding food, pepto bismol and waiting just wasn't doing it. They seemed fine. Happy. Playing. Running around. Acting like themselves - except for the poo being black and the bichon eating grass and vomiting it up.
The bichon and poodle are fine - blood work says so. Ted "the Yorkie Extraordinaire" had blood work and an xray that claimed he is ill. Pancreatitis. He stayed overnight and was picked up this am by me to take to vet to continue with IV and meds. WOW.
I was going to ONLY take the POODLE to the vet for her stool had bright red blood.
The dogs are on Spots stew for dogs ONLY. Sometimes organic tomatoes for a treat. What has happened? I cannot understand. I am desperate to discover what he/they got into?? Bunny turds? Bad case of food? Poison?
Had I just gone with the "but they don't act sick" Ted could be in worse condition. Each and every symptom can mean something. Please have them checked or at least call. I don't know what it was that made me take all three when they looked and acted fine. Especially Ted. And he is the sickest of all. |
