It looks as if we have a poorly dog today.  Completely off food and is passing blood in stools.  We're quite worried about her at the moment but have booked Lizzie in for the vet this afternoon.  Frown

Hi David,

Keep a very watchful eye on her because it can be very serious. My border collie Max had the same codition which unfortunately turned out to be an ulcer in his stomach which had penetrated the lining and i had no option but to put him to sleep aged 12 two years ago.Tried everything for him even syringing syrup (from the vets) every 4 hours.

Hope all goes well but don't be afraid to take her back to the vets if you think she's no better.

Keith

Hope  you  and  Lizzie  are  happy  with  your  respective  results,  David.  I  don't  worry  much  about  my  visits  to  the  Quack,  but  if  I'm  taking  one  of  the  family's  animals  in,  It's  me  that  needs  the  tranquiliser  !!

Hi everyone.  Thank you for your posts.

She seems a lot better now.  We've put her back on normal 'dried' food, but are keeping her off the wet pouches, which she loves.  The problems have only been occurring since she's been having these.  We started giving her these after she really enjoyed the free samples - then we bought some, and them bought some more etc.

Fingers crossed it will settle down now.  She's still finishing her course of antibiotics at the moment.
