It's a paste in a tube, just like the one you describe with the wheel thingy. I don't buy it from the vet though now, after the first time he prescribed it. I buy it online as it's far cheaper. There are several reliable suppliers of non prescription & even prescription veterinary products in the UK. My vet knows & approves, he even used to supply the prescription for a heart drug my old girl needed as he said it was cheaper than he could get it from his suppliers.
The mucus could be a few things. It could be worms, puppies need worming several times, or a tummy bug or malabsorption, or even IBS like my littlest one has. Even though you're feeding Hills, a good food, he might be a bit sensitive to it. Another of mine has food allergies & Hills is one he can't tolerate.
With the blood it could be a bit of colitis. |
Hi Meggie,
Oh jeepers what a lot of maybe's for a little 15 weeks old man ... I could cry for him! I am hoping it's just a lactose intollerence or something simple. They are so little and have to be watched all the time as puppies to stop them eating fluff and anything they can put in their mouths. The vet is happy with Hills so we will stick to it until we need to change, but I know where you are coming from. Nice to meed you on YT.
Best wishes, Pauline, Pixie and GI Joe
