| I'm not sure blood in stools and urine Wednesday evening my daughter noted one of our 7 week old puppies had blood in there poop. All the pups are energetic and playful. On tuesday one puppy had vomitted and had diarrhea. I took it to the vet the temperature was normal, they did a fecal, spun it looked at it under a microscope etc. nothing. Thursday more then one puppy has diarrhea and some blood in it but not with every stool. The vet had given me science diet Id I had put that out for them with their new born supplement formula I gave them 1-2 times a day. I had given them a couple times some canned lamb and rice puppy food (pedigree) but I have always given them ground up baby dog or puppy- Royal Canin . The only difference in their environment is I moved the x-pen into my daughters room because it has a wood floor. I had taken 5 stools to the vet Thursday and they were negative. Tonite I thought I saw blood in the urine when a couple of the puppies voided. I am using washable pee pads so I am not sure. The pups have been on the floor only once with nothing under them. Before I put the pups in the room the girls the week before played with glitter on the floor. they vacuumed it and lightly mopped. I am trying to figure out what could be causing them to have the visible blood. Since I had another dog who has had blood in his feces. I am wondering if it could be my well water? |

| I am so sorry your puppies are having these problems. Are the puppies completely weaned or are they still able to nurse their momma some? Are the puppies eating well? My only suggestion would be to get them off the Royal Canin. Corn is not that easy to digest. I always wean my puppies on the ground up Chicken Soup dry puppy food. Canidae All Stages Of Life is another good food. What has the vet suggested? Sometimes coccidia is hard to diagnose. It could also be a bacterial intestinal infection. You might want to ask your vet about giving them Albon just as a precaution. Albon would help if it is either of the fore mentioned problems. The blood in the urine has me puzzled. I have never experienced that in a puppy that young. What ever their problems is, it seems to me that they need to be on an antibiotic. If you suspect the water then you could try giving them bottled water. I hope you can get some answers. |

| I wish I could help you but I have not had any experience with these problems. The above poster had some good ideas to check on that might help. Just wanted to bump this thread up for you.

| I am wondering if it could be my well water? I have no idea, but could you just give them bottled water to be on the safe side? We have well water and I never give it to my girls, I only give them bottled water. Our water is high in iron and sulfur. I wish you luck w/ the little ones.

| bottled water I bought bottled water to give them and started it Friday night. I have not seen any blood in neither the urine or feces from any of the puppies. I wonder if they were just a little constipated, and I talked to my husband apparently Their mom had been jumping over the xpen and getting in with them, and they had been nursing alittle at least in the mornings. I had given them the last of the newborn milk I had for them at the beginning of this week. I had taken stools to the vet and they were negative. All of them are active and playfull and eating and drinking . I have been giving them nutr-cal at least once aday just to keep their strength up just incase this is coccidia sneaking up on them. |

| I don'y know how old they are, but the mother's milk will protect the puppies for a while. It is good that they are nursed, especially if things creep up like this. I am glad the puppies are doing better .
