Thank you for your thoughts and prayers for her - they are MUCH appreciated It IS VERY scary with our babies...the more I think about it, the more scared I get wondering why vets give our babies certain things that they probably shouldn't have - it just really makes you wonder sometimes if they care more about the stinking money than they do our actual babies

Cindy, thank you so so much She has been ok so far - no more bloody stool episodes I am so thankful. I really do think that it was due to the Previcox....I am just so upset that I ever even gave them to her I had NO idea. From now on, NOTHING is going into my babies stomach's before I research it *myself* FIRST.

Thanks so much Nancy. I do think that this happened because of the Previcox (pain meds) that she was on. The last pill is in the TRASH. I will never again give her that medication. From now on anything that ANY vet prescribes her I will research myself first online. Vet's are great and they save lives everyday, but you can't always be so trusting - I know that now.

my chi girl Shorty's got sensitive stomach and has had bloody (in color only though, not really blood in there) liquid like stool after eating some boiled lean chicken breat (still cannot figure out why), and it was nothing that serious, her vet perscribed her something for diarrhea and she got a lot better the very next day

Thank you so much girl...and I am so sorry to hear about Shorty That poor baby girl....but thank goodness it was nothing serious and the medicine helped cleared it up right away. Give her a great big hug for me

P.S. - Tatum says to give Dolly a little kiss for her

It could be just a quick something she is going through and it might resolve really quickly. Sometimes my babies will have a similar poo issue out of NOWHERE - and then it's gone. So let's cross our fingers and paws.

Otherwise, the fecal test it is. You could try giving some pumpkin, yogurt - or even better, some Benebac (from Petsmart/Petco).

I sure hope the little darling is better by morning. We will be thinking of her. Marcel sends extwa, extwa kisses and cuddles!

Awww Ann, thank you so much girl Poor little Marcel...I know he has been through it too - our babies seem to have it so rough don't they? It just breaks my heart for them!

I think today's episode with Tatum was caused by the Previcox - remember when I posted about her being in pain and going down on her front legs? Well it's obviously because of the LP - so I called and had the vet prescribe her pain meds....and Previcox is what he gave me. NEVER AGAIN will I give her that stuff. Never again I can't even believe he gave that to her. It makes me furious. I posted a thread in Health & Diet about it - but I am also going to post it in General (I hope that's ok?? ) - because I REALLY do want more people to see it....it is just SO important because this drug is prescribed so often. Too often.

Give Marcel tons and tons of hugs and kisses from Tatum....she is so in love with him and thinks he is her boyfriend you know

Hey Girl!! You know I have been thinking about your lately, wondering where you had been. I am so sorry to hear about Tatum, make sure to give her kisses from me and I hope she continues to get better. I have had problems with my boying having diarrhea but that is only when he eats something like might upset his stomach. I will keep you guys close to my .

[tumismom]

OMg!! I just saw this! I hope my Tate Tate is feeling better..That is so scary girl and I am sorry you guys had to go through that. I just read your other thread also and how scary!! i am praying for you guys and let me know if you need anything!!

Brooke, I am so sorry to hear that Tatum hasn't been well. Poor little Tate has been through a lot lately.
I am glad she seems to be doing alright now with no more bloody stool.

Brownie tends to get the same type of stool when he is stressed or when I give him a little something different in his diet. He has been thoroughly checked over it and it all comes down to either a tummy upset or stress for him. It is usually gone the next day.

I have heard that Bene Bac Gel is great to give them when they have this and that is really helps.
Maybe give it a try?
But knowing that she had coccidia at one time, I would still take a stool sample in to be on the safe side.


Hope little Tator Tot is feeling better!! Give her a hug for me!!

I am sorry to hear about Tatum. I would bet the bloody stool is from the pain meds. I had a Pug who used to have bad knees, and was given different types of pain meds. (I THINK it was Rimadyl) after a couple doses he had bloody diarrhea. I was scared to death after I was told by someone that alot of dogs have died from it. I called my Vet and she switched him to something else that helped his pain but wasnt so hard on him. I think a bland diet Rice and chicken would help. Sending prayers for Tatum that she is comfortable and gets to feeling better.
