No they did not tell me what the blood was from but gave her an antibiotic Metronidazole for 7 days and then they want to start doxycycline for 30 days for anaplasma. No blood but also no stool in over 24 hours

Continue to give the meds....if it is stress and she has coccidia, it takes a while for the meds to work....usually they are on a Flagyl and Albon, sometimes adding Amoxicillin for that, and it is given anywhere from 5-10 days....make absolutely certain pup is drinking enough water....diarrhea can dehydrate her quickly....dont let her over eat...feed small meals four or five times a day....how old is pup? How long have you had her?

It then got darker and finally she defecated a pool of bright red blood, jam like... and this all happened in the matter of 2 1/2 days. I am in NY and temperatures dropped so I thought she initially caught a cold from me. I keep the heat on 70 to 73 degrees at all times just for her. I brought her to ER on Sunday and they gave me antibiotic which does not appear to be working because she still has diarrhea....very dark [but not bright red blood like before]. The vet took 632 dollars and has not gotten back to me. I cannot afford to take her somewhere else. She is active, eating plain chicken and rice and drinking a bit. She has not vomited in 2 days. Can anyone please tell me what this can be from? They did NOT to an xray to see if she swallowed something. They told me if she swallowed something she would have pain in her tummy.... Need help .... please get back to me ..please. She is only 4 years old and is a rescue. I have only had her 6 months and she needs a dental , shots, etc... but I am afraid to do anything else right now until I find out what is wrong with her. The vet wants to take a 'wait and see' attitude. thanks .. Lynn

Hi everyone... I spoke to the vet again at the animal hospital where I originally brought my yorkie because after I stopped the medication, my yorkie had diarrhea again. She gave me peptic pills to give the dog and I asked about a probiotic [thanks for this suggestion]. I am to give the pills for 5 days and keep her on the probiotic, which I have been doing for 3 days now. She still is going 'soft'. I still have her on plain chicken cutlet with rice. The vet wanted to try a 'de-wormer' medication even though the stool sample came back negative for parasites if the diarrhea does not clear up. BUT ISN'T BAD TO GIVE A MEDICATION WITHOUT A TEST SHOWING IT IS NEEDED? My dog needs (1) updated shots (2) needs a dental cleaning bad (3) needs to start her heartworm meds again---- but Vet said not to do anything until diarrhea resolves... NO VOMITING AND MY DARLING IS ACTIVE AND ALERT AND EATING WELL.
