My Silky Terrier started having bloody/mucousy poo at about 1yr. His tummy makes terrible growling and gurgling noises. We took him to several vets and spent thousands on tests. Finally a friend referred us to a vet that did an exam and blood tests on him. All the tests came back ok. So, she determined that he had colitis. So we put him on a special food (tried Hills ID but he rolled in it so we had to go with Purina EN). She also put him on Prednisone and metronidazole (the metro was only for 2 weeks). He also got NO table food anymore at all. After about a year we tapered off of the pred. He is now able to eat Taste of The Wild food and is no longer having the bloody poo. He will flare if he gets upset/stressed. It was a long road to recovery for him. The food change was the most important thing. The prednisone seems to help when there is a flare.
I would recommend taking him in for the poo and blood tests to make sure everything is working ok. I am sorry to hear that you are going through this. It was absolutely terrifying for us too. I am sure your baby will be ok. |
