Help!!! Cosmo is now with his runny poop it has blood in it. other than that he is acting fine, running, eating, drinking, chewing up anything. i have an appt tomorrow at 9 should I take to an emergency vet now. PLEASE HELP i just got him yesterday. |
blood in the stool in my opinion would be something to be worried about, and if it's runny. do you mean runny as in Diarrhea? I know you just got him, where did you get him from? |
From a breeder in Oklahoma, It is diarrhea. |
I think an emergency visit might play it safe with Cosmo...You can never be too careful. Dehydration can set in too quickly with these little one's. Please keep us posted and I hope Cosmo will be ok. :( |
How old is he, and how much does he weigh? I know for small dogs that they get hypoglycemic very fast. Oreo almost died because i didn't know anything about that. Someone on these forums suggested Kaopeptate (sp?) for the diarrhea, make sure he's drinking a lot of water. if you do have Nutri-Cal give it to him just to be safe. if you don't honey and sugar is ok. But if it's something more serious than hypoglycemia ( well i mean that's serious too) it could be maybe: - Giardia - Parvo - Coccydia (sp?) I don't want to scare you or anything, but you might want to look up the symptoms to thopse and see if they match up with your pup. I'm sure everything will be fine! :) Oh and before i forget, Congrats on your new babie :p |
He is almost 9 weeks. and weighs a little over a 1 1/4 |
ahh he's a tiny one, Oreo was 8 weeks and about 1.53 pounds. he was found to be very hypoglycemic with a blood glucose of 15 (normal is 90-120) Check your baby's gums if they are pale give him some nutri-cal or honey right away. |
:aimeeyork I think you need to contact the breeder as soon as possible. Bloody diarhea can be a sign of worms or something worst, so you should take Cosmo asap to the vet. I agreed with Yorkie girl. Congrats on your new baby and Good luck. Please keep us posted. |
I called the vet I have an appt tomorrow at 8 he said he would be fine until the morning b/c he is active and eating. |
Its probably just worms! The same thing happened with Lexy a few weeks ago and scared me to death!!! |
his poop is getting a little harder, but there is still blood. Sorry you guys have to hear this, I am just scared. |
it's okay to be scared, shoot i wish i would have found this website when I first got oreo. I had just got him, and within the next 48 hours he was so lethargic and not with it, i was scared, i actually cried i thought he was going to die. found out his blood sugar was so low, he was near death and not to mention he had tapeworms and roundworms. :eek: |
Is he on the same food that the breeder was feeding him? If he was switched to a different food, that could cause him to have irritated bowels or colitis, which could show blood in the stools. Hope the little cutie is feeling better really soon! |
Well yes he is but I put soem science diet in his food because the vet said that is what she is switching too so she gave me both, but he really does not eat the science diet. |
Awww. I remember I also read somewhere that bloody, runny poo is signs of worms or something a little more than that. I know I'm no help, but I just wanted to say .. I am sure your lil' babe will be fine! Hope all is well, update us on how the vet appt goes! :p |
