OMG! HELP! PLEASE! I am in tears! Tatum is pooping out BLOODY GEL!!! - Page 7 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Betty'sMom · 07-09-2007, 05:28 AM

I found out a week ago (the day before we were leaving for vacation) that Juju has giardia! The vet said he has seen more cases this year than ever. I was freaking out too...and I still am. He gave me 5 syringes with Panacur in them...one syringe per day. She STILL has diarrhea. We have to go back for another treatment. Steadman can catch it from her and so can you!!! So be careful. I've been using clorox to clean up. They can get re-infected from the yard too. Juju is not really acting sick...but she did throw up foam in the car on the way to the mountains last week. I was scared she was dying!! I ran into a Dollar Store (there was NOTHING else around) and bought honey and gave her some. When we got to the cabin, she ate and acted fine. But, she still has soft stool and occasional blood. It's driving me crazy. Good luck with Tate!!

Since she is still so little, could certainly be coccidia or giardia.

When I went through this with Oz, they ruled out both of those. But believe me when I say I know how scary this is. It's just NOT normal.

Even the vet said that while seeing this kind of thing occasionally, it was still unnerving to them.

Ozzie was diagnosed with HGE. (hemorrhagic gastroenteritis) He had a bout in November and another in February. Flagyl is one of three meds he was one. In both instances, he was much improved within a day or two. (He DID have to stay in the hospital both times, however.)

The upside is that while trying to find out more info on HGE, I found YorkieTalk!

No matter what it is, I sure hope Tatum is well again soon. You definitely deserve a break. Thoughts and prayers for both of you.

I jumped to the end of the thread so this may have already been metioned, but Hootie has had bloody gel-like stool several times in the past and each time I call my vet, she tells me not to panic bc blood in a dog's stool is nothing like blood in a human's stool. It's definately not always serious. I am sure Tatum just has an inflamed colon from the food change and she'll be better in no time. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it's not giardia.

Awww Brooke I am so sorry about Tatum, bless both of your hearts...I just read this and you are probably getting her to the vet this morning, I am praying she will be okay and be not be sick anymore...give that cutie pie a big hug & kiss...

tiggerr36792 · 07-09-2007, 06:48 AM

I hope Tatum is okay!!! Any news yet???

babi1542 · 07-09-2007, 07:03 AM

I keep checking in here to see if there is any news! Poor thing, did not sleep last night, I don't blame her, I would have done the same thing.

zoeybear · 07-09-2007, 07:11 AM

My Sister in law had a Beagle puppy that did the same thing. She had coccidia. It lasted for a couple of weeks. I think she had to take antibiotics, but was ok. She freaked out because bloody stool sounds so horrible, but I guess it is kind of a common problem in puppies. Hope your baby is well soon!

genie · 07-09-2007, 07:16 AM

OMG...Brooke I just saw this thread....How is Tate today? I think that she will be fine. I believe the irritation from the diarrhea is what is causing the blood. My golden Jake had that very same poop when he was a puppy once and it was coccidia, some antibiotics and he was fine. I know how scared you are but I think that she will be just fine after some antibiotics. Keep up updated.....

As most of you know, Tate has been teething over the past several weeks (remember the issue where I had to take her to the vet because she was not eating and he put her on very STRONG, concentrated pain meds). Well, over the last few weeks, she has lost a total of 3 teeth (I have FOUND 3...she may have possibly lost more, I am not sure).

Anyway, over the past few days she has been having runny poop, but I have been giving her Pedialyte and she has been for the most part, acting pretty normal. Not eating quite as much as she normally does, but everything else with her seems to be pretty much ok.

Well today, just about 20 minutes ago, I shaved her little butt down (just in the very back part) because she has been having the runny poop and I didn't want any of it to get stuck in her hair. I have been having to wipe her little butt with baby wipes because of it, so finally I decided to shave her little butt down.

Well about 15 minutes ago I saw her squatting and was watching her to make sure everything was ok...and when she got up OMG

I saw nothing but this BLOODY GEL substance - NO POOP, NO NOTHING....just the bright red bloody gel!!!

Then I turned around and saw ANOTHER spot where she had done the very same thing. OMG you guys, I am so freaking out. I have never seen anything like this with ANY of my babies and the fact that it is just SOLID BLOOD with no poop just has me so worried SICK.

I know this is gross but I took some pictures of both spots for you guys to see, hoping that you can all help me and maybe have an idea as to what the heck this is and why she is doing it

I gathered both samples up and put them in a little plastic baggy and wrote the date and the time on the bag of when it happened and will be taking it, as well as HER, to the vet first thing tomorrow.

I even e-mailed her breeder and sent her these pics in hopes that she can somehow help me with this...maybe she has seen this before, I don't know

I am going to go do some research online right now.

I am just SO sick over this...I literally feel sick at my stomach because I do NOT know what the heck is wrong with my baby girl! Lately it just seems like one thing after another with her and I can't take it anymore

When will I EVER get to stop posting in this section????

Prayers are coming your way

I hope she is feeling much better today. I hope Mommy got some rest last night, too. I understand how scary things like that are after taking little Oscar to the ERvet last week!
