Little Bright Red Blood on Behind Okay I'm going to try to explain this. Oliver my little Shih Tzu has been pooping but it's not totally hard. It's not soft either. Yesterday I saw a little bright red blood on his backside. Since he's only 8 weeks old it got of worried me. He doesn't seem to be bothered by it he's eating drinking and playing normally. I called the vet and she told me that he proabably irratated himself. He was tested 2 weeks ago when I got him for worms and other parasites and everything came back normal. She told me to add a teaspoon of olive oil to his food or pumpkin. As I said I was kind of worried because he's so young. Anybody ever have this problem with their puppies? |
The blood can mean a number of things, so I'll let more knowledgeable people comment on that. I would be very concerned about giving an 8 week old a teaspoon of olive oil. That isn't something I would give to my adult doggies. I would research that one before even considering it. Stick to plain pumpkin, not the pie filling with spices. |
I did a quick search on olive oil and found many sources that say it is safe for dogs, but I imagine it is like coconut oil in that the dog should be acclimated to it in small amounts to start with. I still wouldn't give it to an 8 week old, and I would worry about the fat content for any dog that is particularly at risk for pancreatitis. |
Okay I just dumped the food with the olive oil and I replaced it with pumpkin. Thank God he didn't eat any of it. Thanks for the input. We bought a whole load of pumpkin for thanksgiving. |
Because it was just a little bit of blood, it has not happened again, and the vet knows, it should be fine. A tsp. of olive oil would be fine except he is already getting fat in his kibble. That is doubling his fat for the day and I would use extreme caution. The pumpkin is a much better idea if you have to use something. |
I think its just his little anus irritated. The pumpkin is a natural regulator and would be good to get the stool under control |
