Anyway, yesterday afternoon, Tucker just seemed really lethargic. He wasn't interested in playing with me. He had a normal poo around 3 and no urination until middle of the night. During the night he started with diarrhea and now its turning bloody. He finally peed this morning. He also vomitted once during the night, but not since, but he hasn't eaten since yesterday morning.
I have taken him to the vet first thing. They did blood tests and his liver and kidney functions are fine. We are waiting on fecal tests to come back. He has no appetite. He has received medication for the diarrhea and some pain medication for the blood test and they think his belly is tender, but he will allow me to pick him up with out a cry.
Anybody have an experience like this or may know what this could be? I would greatly appreciate any input.

Well, the Vet called back this morning, his fecal test was negative for parasites.
Tuker is doing well this morning. No more vomitting. He has eaten and I have given him water through a syringe to keep him hydrated. He was playful this morning, like his normal self. He pottied, both pees and poos. His poo is still soft, but not diarrhea. I checked to make sure no blood and there wasn't. I checked his bottom and it was clean. I was getting his breakfast together and he was sitting at my feet on the kitchen rug, then he squatted as if he had to potty. I went to grab him and he had left spots of blood on the rug. He ran to another rug and then scooted acrossed it.
Could this be an anal gland problem? I had him groomed and expressed last Friday. If this was a blockage, he would throw up what he has eaten and wouldn't have made any fecal matter.
Any other guesses?
Thanks,
Mary & Tucker
