Thank you Thank you to everyone who was concerned!

I was prepared to just assume it was allergies and nothing more because we always want to believe that our furbaby couldnt possibly be really sick.

But I desided to take her to the beach and walk her for a moment and she started pooping blood.

I freaked out...Called the vet! RUSHED HER THERE!! And he gave her a full blood profile, he had to scoop her toot for poop (for a sample) and finally he said that she had an infection...Her white blood cell count was high(20 something) and she had a temp of 105. So he gave her antibiotics Amoxicillin (15ml) and Metronidazole (250 MG)
My poor furbaby...
I hope she doesnt poop blood again. That freaked me out. I hope her temp goes away soon...Im not sure what else to do so I got her some cool water to drink for now. You know on humans you can just wipe their heads and body with rubbing alcohol or cool water but with dogs...its a bit different. I think I just have to wait for the antibiotics to kick in.

Keep my izzaboo in your prayers.
