Tamara - Take your dog to the vet. There are so many different things that can cause these symptoms in your dog. Some aren't serious and others are.
I definitely do not take my animals to the vet for every little thing - but I would if he didn't feel well and I saw any blood in his stool.
Growling stomachs are not necessarily a bad sign. When you go to the doctor, he will usually listen to your stomach. If he hears some noise going on, he knows your stomach and intestines are doing their job. It's when there is no noise, that they might be a problem. A lack of stomach noise can be the result of an obstruction or other problem.
I listened to one of my dog's stomachs once and it sounded like a band concert going on in there --- it was a perfectly normal stomach at work.
And - don't we all have times when our stomach want to growl - it's usually just air moving around - not always a problem.
Good luck - Carol Jean |
