| Blood in stool but not diarrhea I am getting concerned now as demi has been healthy 5 years old now and has had perfect poop for 5 years no diarrhea ever. October 9th i came down from a shower and saw bloody poop and did the butt check and it seemed to be demi so with her never having health issues ever like that i took her in that day to have her annual exam she was due for and vet checked her out temp normal no issues but i was still not 100% it was her so we held off on blood work and i did not collect fecal as i was in shock and cleaned up quick. Well now tonigh the 27th she pooped blood in stool again not diarrhea though it is a firm poop with fresh blood chunks in it very odd and my concern is it looks raspberry like but she is acting perfectly normal, eating, peeing pooping but now i am freaking out as it is the second time and before i thought it was stressed related as dh was out of town and i have been working alot but now dh is not working and home since the 11th so i do not think it is stress related although groomer came on sunday and she gets stressed. I gathered a fecal and put in fridge to take in first thing to have stool checked and called specialty hospital to make sure i preserve it correctly and they said could be parasite issue or a growth - I really do not thing parasite as she is mostly inside and other dogs do not have issues so do not think giardia. She has not had any vaccinations recently. The one thing i do notice her belly seems more distended than my others so i am concerned it is large intestinal issue since fresh blood. The vet as specialty hospital said sometimes it can be from a growth in intestines that causes this as i find it odd perfect poop from 10/9 to 10/27 and now blood again - it was so much the wee wee pad had blood stain on it but it was formed poop which i have not seen with colitis Anyway i am freaking as this is my healthy dog so any one ever had this happen let me know please but i will be going to vet when they open at 8 to have her fecal done in house and sent to lab as i am very concerned and will follow up with blood work as well also she does not chew on toys so no way it is a blockage or something from food as we soak down her food due to her teeth - just very odd and has me concerned also i know this sounds gross but my yorkies eat her poop at times and neither of them are acting sick or having poop or vomitting issues and they have super sensitive stomachs so i would think if it was parasites they would have same thing going on and why i think growth situation is more likely as dd has a horrible immune system and i would think she would catch anything like that the other thing is my dee dee keeps sniffing her butt the last time this happened and tonight as if she knows something is wrong just trying to think of everything she just had bloody poop again |

| I hope so, too. Are you taking her in again or just dropping the stool sample off?
