| Green Stool now and then My baby sassy has a green stool now and then, and seems to be a little tender around the belly. I had her to the Vet twice, and he treated her with antibiotic, Keflex both times, and took away all food and water for 24 hrs. He palpated her abdomen and didn't see her react in a bad way. I observed her eat a cat poo poo and scolded her, so I think that is why he gave the antibiotic. He said many dogs will ingest feline feces but that grosses me out. She has always had irregular Seasons, and I am concerned about problems there, even though the Vet is aware of that problem also. I am a Worried Daddy. All help is appreciated. Blessings All Steve and Sassy |

Donating YT 500 Club Member | Did your vet do any bloodwork when you've taken her in before? Is she healthy acting otherwise? Eating cat poo can be a problem and she should be kept away from the litter box, even if it means gating the area off from her. Also, she has not been spayed, correct? If so, why not? There really is no reason not to have her spayed unless you plan on breeding. The risk of pyometra and some cancers increase with each heat cycle.

| We don't have cats, but the neighbor does, and it sometimes gets in our yard. Sassy never gets out without being on a leash but she can spot that cat poo way before I can. She was not fixed because I am afraid for her to be put out, she has that narrowing Trachia (spelling), and I worry about the intabation. |

| I think I'd have bloodwork with a Spec cPL done just to make sure everything is clear. Anesthesia is scary stuff, but for most dogs, spaying is in their best interest. It is probably too late to change her % chance of developing mammary cancern, but spaying would prevent pyometra. If this occurs, she will very likely need an emergency spay while being very sick which would be so much harder on her. Have you talked to the vet about your concerns?
