Hello everyone. I know I have not had a lot to add to the board since I joined but I am sure I am not the first to reach out for help in a troubling situation. Thank you in advance. Sampson is almost 2. He is a 5 lb Yorkie.
I am worried. Since early this morning Sampson threw up (just once). His poop is the major concern. he has a troubling version of the squirts. It is mucusy and reddish and thick in consistency. Sampson spends half days at a good doggie daycare with large and small dogs. He eats human grade food (soft). His nose is wet, his eyes are bright and he seems a bit tired now having not really eaten much in the last 24 hours.Hwe is drinking some water but has no interedt in eating at all. I have never seen him with poop like this before...
I am worried the reddish texture may be blood
Its not bright red and seems more mucusy than anything, no clots - I would say its more tinged reddish/brownish at this stage.
Any insight would be helpful. I am watching very closely and will be booking an appointment with the vet for Saturday morning... or the emerg vet if things get worse.
Thank you in advance.
Jay & Sammy
