Thank you for the hugs! I'll take all I can get right now. |
I honestly can't answer that. From my Nursing training I know dark blood is old and can be from a few hours to days old. Bright red is fresh blood that is still or was just bleeding. He could have eaten something that when digested scratched the lining and caused bleeding and by the time he pooped then it came out as old blood. Then again with having diarrhea that makes the bottom sore and will cause bleeding but the amount you are describing is a lot and I just could not speculate on its cause. I am so glad you got him to the vet right away so they can figure it out and get him treatment if needed.
Just know he is in great hands right now and keep positive thoughts. Sending more prayers and more hugs. I know the waiting is hard but hopefully you will get the call that all is well soon.
