Oh my Monty. I like to call him Monty Boo but now I am calling him Monty Poo as in "oh pooh" when I see his poo ... sometimes.
I am perplexed and hoping for your thoughts before I go back to my vet.
*WARNING poop pic attached*
Monty is giardia and parasite and worm free (YAY).
Monty has 100% recovered from his neuter and his attach (YAY YAY)
Monty gets
->Royal Canin Gastrointestinal Puppy kibble 2x a day sometimes fully hydrated sometimes just wet down with either a sprinkle of parmesan cheese or crumbled dehydrated liver treats. He also has a bowl of dry kibble always available.
-> 1-2 tablespoons of Royal Canin Gastrointestinal High Energy canned dog food (For the fat content, was trying to put some weight on him and also for medications as I used to practically strangle him to get a syringe in his mouth.)
-> 1 package of powder forti flora probiotic on his breakfast.
-> 1/2 pump omega vitamines
-> Treats: fixed amount of time with bully stick, my own dehydrated yam and apple, liver treats.
Monty typically has 2 bowel movements each morning about 10 mins apart. And 1 in the evening.
The blood on the stool only happens when it is the 3rd bowel movement in either the morning or the evening poop run. It's like only when he is at the very end of emptying his bowel. He doesn't strain a lot but it does take a tiny bit longer to come out than the first 2.
When it first happened a week and a half ago, he had diarrhea. The vet put him on meds. He has since finished the medication.
His poops are beautifully formed and an appropriate amount for what he is eating.
This poop is from last night. It was the third poop on that walk so he had pooped a fair amount. He didn't have a big poop in the morning.
In the morning he had the forti flora pro biotics - I hadn't been giving it to him when he was on his meds. He had also had dehydrated yam and apple throughout the day. Not a lot ... maybe 1/4 apple worth and about the same amount of yams. We haven't been doing a lot of treating lately.
He is happy. Energetic. Eating well. Sleeping well. Playing well. Has only happened once since his diarrhea cleared up and only on the third poop.
I am going to keep an eye on this but what do you think? Have you encountered this before? I have cut out the wet food thinking maybe the fat may be too high? And the forti flora. And the treats. Going to give him a few days and see what his bowels do.
Wanted to check though in case someone says ... ummmm - what about???
