I took him to the vet tonight. This is weird. He is very active and was playing a whole lot. But he was just squirting out blood. He drinks a lot but the guy said he was dehydrated. i hope everything works out. |
i found this I was looking online after we got back from the vet and I found this...the only thing is, Cosmo doesn't have all of the symptoms....hope your doing okay...I am sure he will be fine...Sleep good!!! What shall I do for my Yorkie's bloody diarrhea and what is HGE? HEMORRHAGIC GASTRIC ENTERITIS Hemorrhagic Gastric Enteritis is a serious threat to all dogs, but particularly dangerous to the smaller breeds. Is it Parvo, Corona, Giardia, or Cambylobacter Enteritis? Any kind of bacterial diarrhea can quickly dehydrate an animal and the tinies are in great peril as they have little weight to lose before they are dehydrated and need IV rehydration. Your dog can be infected by a walk in the park, or at a dog show, or other congregation of dogs. Anywhere from 2-10 days from exposure, your dog can come down with this problem, starting with vomiting, lethargy, refusing to eat, and progressing to mucous covered stool, loose stools, profuse diarrhea and bloody diarrhea. Though it is important that your dog is placed on wide spectrum antibiotics, it is important that a culture be done first so that you know exactly what bacteria you are treating. Many cases of Hemorrhagic Gastric Enteritis are treated with a combination of Amoxicillin and Flagyl, but both these drugs will probably be recommended by your veterinarian at the first sign of bloody diarrhea and vomiting. DO NOT waste time, particularly with the smaller breeds, as they have little reserves to lose fluid thru diarrhea, especially bloody diarrhea. My vet has instructed me to go ahead and give the Amoxicillin 50 mg two times a day (toy dogs) and if there is no change in 12 hours to bring the dog in for further evaluation. I have seen severe bloody diarrhea, bright red blood, stopped after administering Amoxicillin as my vet instructed, along with kaopectolin or other anti diarrhea agent from your vet. In a more severe case, he also had me give Flagyl at the same time. Consult your veterinarian for proper dosage by weight of your dog. |
The vet said he was dong good, he was drinking and sleeping. The test results will be in around 1 or so. He was not pooped. |
It really sounds like coccidia - my Chanel came to us with it and it can be very dangerous for a little one - it's easily treated though but we ended up in emergency with her at 2am on a sunday morning - I just was sooo scared ! Good luck with your puppy ! |
Hope your baby will be better quickly! Toto recently had a similar bout [but she is 21 months]. We had to see an ER vet in Kentucky and he found that hers was caused from a gastrointestinal infection, which she probably picked up while we were visiting at home. He gave her Flagyl and she bounced back in no time! She was also dehydrated but he trusted us to get pedialite down her ... he said he seriously felt if he put an IV in after 2 blood draws and we had to leave her, she would have a heart attack! I have never seen her so upset. She did great! Keep your chin up and please keep us updated! |
Be sure and put some honey in his water and even on his food. Be sure and let us know how he is doing. I get so nervous when on of mine get sick. |
Hi! We had a German Shorthaired Pointer that shortly after we got her, she had bloody diarreah and it ended up being hook worms. SHe had to take some medicin for a while, but they were able to clear it right up. |
It sounds like it could be a number of things but you did the right thing in getting him to the vet right away. They can usually help him. They are not perfect and I have found that most breeders are better at saving the lives of these little guys than the vet, but since your breeder is not local, you definitely did the right thing. Keep us posted on his progress! |
Had that last year with our female turned out to be parasites, was eating fine feeling good but had runny poop mixed with blood scary thing but turned out to be okay |
Cosmo Poo Poo Staci, If it was me, I would RUN not walk to an emergency vet. Cosmo may have Parvo or he could have eaten something that has cut his colon wall. Better safe than sorry. Hurry, go ,go ,go. |
