| tummy problems and now bloody diarrhea Oh my... I'm not really sure where to start or at this point what is important information... So I guess the beginning is the best place and I would really appreciate any advice! Thank you for reading this cause I think it will be very long . So I have 2 Yorkies Gracie weighs 5.5 and she is 3 years and Rainey is 7.7 and is 4 years. I adopted them 2 months ago. They were eating Wellness turkey and oatmeal when all this mess happened they had been on this for about 3 weeks with no problems. They get 1/4 2x a day and I use wet Wellness about 1 1/2 TBSP mixed with water to make a gravy for their dry food this is split between the both of them. On 2-15-14 they were fed at 6 pm around 3 am Rainey throws up all undigested food I figured it was because the little piggy at most of Gracie"s food that night ( She is a quick little devil) She wouldn't eat much the next feeding and then Gracie ate most of her food hours later Gracie throws up . So I fixed them chicken and rice with broth mixed in they are acting fine and eating good they were on this a few days so I started to add back in the wellness. Then Rainey throws up about 7 hours later after a start the Wellness back up. Their poop had been little different I would call it diarrhea but very soft then they went back to normal. I was told by a friend to give them some yogurt and then I got on this forum and saw a bunch of posts about yogurt I went and got Yoplait Vanilla and active Vanilla I started them on a little of the Yoplait at each feeding Rainey loves it Gracie I had to feed it to her and she did not like it. about this time I notice that they both have been eating their poop!!!! So their diet is no chicken rice yogurt and poop . Further reading on Yorkie talk , I find about the pineapple thanks to Wyllie's mom . So I gave pineapple and yogurt together because Gracie wont eat either alone and then I switched from the Yoplait to the activa I notice that Gracie has a little bit of blood in her stool so I stop this and Rainey has very soft stools. That brings me to yesterday.... I took them to a Holistic Vet I really liked him. Both of their fecals were negative. They did have ear mites so he put them on Revolution (which I put on them last night and I kept them separated for a few hours so the would lick each other. ) He also gave me EN dog food to give Gracie for her GI upset and was given Canine Enteric Support A1400 and Protegrity GI a Probiotic . He also gave Gracie an acupuncture injection of vitamin b (I think) I gave the Probiotic last night I had to force it down them in small piece because they wouldn't eat it. Gave Gracie the EN dog food (she ate about 1/3 of a cup. And Rainey had Wellness with just a little chicken with some water. This morning Rainey had the same and Gracie had just a bit of the EN dog food but wouldn't eat. but almost immediately had a very mucosy? stool with a little spot of blood but then she had a very red bloody sludgy looking stool! I am pulling my hair out here!! I worry about her not eating so I went ahead and gave her some chicken and rice and she gobbled it up . I hope someone can make heads or tales of this long post . Thanks. |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Interesting, very interesting. Hmmmm. First, I'd kinda wonder if something is wrong w/ that Wellness food - so make sure you save the part of the bag that has the lot number and date etcetera, just in case. I'd be tempted to stop feeding from that bag. Did the symptoms happen on this same bag of Wellness that you were feeding for 3wks or did it happen when you started a new bag? Also, bc they're both having the same symtpoms, you have to wonder about giardia. Have they been exposed to any outside standing water? If so, were they tested for Giardia in their fecals? Giardia can hide under microscope, so it sometimes takes several samples to actually find the bug under scope. Did the vet mention giardia at all? I'd also wonder about just a simple GI bug - again, since they both had the symptoms.

| Revolution reaction My Yorkie became very sick from revolution ( had all the side effects) so please be careful if using it & watch carefully for any changes/ symptoms. There are quite a few negative reports across the web and in my case - my little girl got terribly sick & I hope it won't happen to others! |

| Could it be food intolerance? When dogs are intolerant/ sensitive to a certain protein, they throw up...sometimes right after they eat, or a few hrs later, even up to 2 days later. My Turbo was tested sensitive to turkey (& chicken, venison & white fish) via the NutriScan test. Once I stopped giving him the offending proteins, he stopped throwing up. Dogs also show food intolerance via poopies, it it's soft, they're not tolerating it well.

| Another thing about bloody (bright red) diarrhea...my Princess gets colitis every time she has anything beef, her's is food intolerance related & she gets mucus bloody diarrhea. Lots of other things can cause this (inflammation of the large intestines or colon), stress is one of 'em but mostly it's diet related. Maybe switching up protein? Giardia, hookworms & whipworms needs to be ruled out if it's a recurring thing.
