Common Questions and Answers about Vomiting dog bloody stool
vomiting
Parvo usually presents with the most terrible, foul, bloody diarrhea. The diarrhea can then progress to watery bloodstained stool with a terrible odour. If your dog was just off her food, and vomited, it doesn't necessarily suggest Parvo (though of course, it's possible)
I am so sorry you lost your dog. It's very sad, and sudden.
Vomiting on an empty stomach and certainly bloody stool is a very BAD sign. Your dog is very young and cannot take much of this before death becomes a distinct possibility. Call your regular vet clinic now. They should have an outgoing message directing you to an ER clinic. I'm serious. This really is an emergency and can't wait.
Missy dog vomits when she eats or drinks. She can only keep down white rice and small amounts of water at a time. Her stool is normal and stomach isn't hard. I am concerned at she can't continue to just eat rice. I tried boiling hamburer and putting a little in the rice but she vomited that too.
The disease makes it impossible for the dog to absorb liquids and nutrients and as a result, the dog will suffer from diarrhea and may also experience lethargy and vomiting. There is a loss of appetite. Most dogs stop eating and have particularly foul smelling and bloody, liquid stool.
In its early stages, dogs with parvo often have a high fever, loss of appetite, and depression.
You should keep a close eye on your dog when first starting the Previcox treatment as side effects have been reported in some breeds. Some side effects include vomiting, skin rash, lethargy, and bloody stool. You should watch for any kind of negative change in your pet’s health and consult your vet. Most breeds handle Previcox very well and you shouldn’t have any issues but you can talk to your vet about which breeds will handle it better to make sure it’s right for your dog.
In a young dog like this when I hear "bloody diarrhea", my first thought is parvovirus. I know that you said he's up to date on his vaccinations but there is always an outside chance that a dog can still contract the disease even if they have been vaccinated. Did your vet test him for parvo?
Bloody bowel movements along with vomiting can also signify an intussusception.
He has been in good health as of lately. His eating habits are table food and dry dog food. 7 days ago i gave him alpo beef, chicken, and lamb canned food along with his hard food that he eats. The next couple of days he was constipated and would strain when he would go outside to the bathroom. Eventually after walking around long enough he would finally have a bowel movement.
The dose for metronidazole is 20 to 25mg per kg. The dose for a large lab would be 500 to 750mg twice per day tor 7 days (Do not overdose). If you have not given the correct dose or metronidazole than another course of metronidazole may help.
There could be gastrointestinal parasites not covered by the metronidazole, of course, and it would be best to have your dog's stool checked.
Thank you for the input on the bowel issues. My poor little dog is still sick. After another trip to the vet, he took her off Doxyciline but kept her on the Metrozindale. She was good for 3 days, although vomiting up some of her food. Then she had lots of bloody diarrhea, vomitted blood. I took her to the emergency vet. After an ultrasound, she had enlarged spleen and lymph nodes with no fever. The vet is leaning towards IBD or worst case Lymphoma. The needle biospy was inconclusive.
My advice is do take your dog to the vet as soon as possible. There is a stool test for Parvo which can tell quite quickly, if it is this virus or not.
Parvo does usually present with a fever, lethargy, vomiting, and very watery diarrhea usually with blood . But even though your dog doesn't seem too bad otherwise, there is no harm in being certain. If it IS just a very badly upset belly, well, you will have erred on the safe side.
Something like a black plastic pen top might have been chewed into small enough pieces that it would be hard to see it in the stool of a large dog. If your dog happens to get sick anytime in the next several days, I would treat it as an emergency, but otherwise, the object will either show up in the next few days, or it won't.
I thought Giardia presented itself with bloody diarrhea. I also thought it was a parasite. My dog was given something to settle the stomach and 3 days of liquid parasitic. I don't remember an antibiotic. (Although it's possible). He acted perfectly normal, too. Ate, drank, did everything.......I think somethings wrong here....Could it be Parvo? You need to get another opinion, quickly.......Let us know....
His skin discoloration looks like a white cows black spots, and his fur is thining in those areas. We've been giving him the melatonin and now he has loose, bloody stools (frank blood). So we have stopped the melatonin. I checked the stool for worms and didn't see any. Would i be able to see worms in the stool?
My sons 12 yr. old beagle mix was bitten by another dog in Jan. He was put on antibiotics for 3 weeks and since then has has a lot of GI issues. It started as just diarrhea and his food was changed. Diarrhea continued and he was started on probiotics. Same thing only now he has bloody diarrhea with a really foul smell. Could this be C-Diff from the the medication? What would the treatment require? Thank you for any help you can give me.
The vet will need a stool sample. Best to take some fresh along with you in a plastic bag - may need a paper towel to pick some of it up if real loose, I'm not sure on this point.
Two days ago she started having bloody diarrhea/soft stool, but was eating drinking and being normal. I took her to the emergency clinic since it was the weekend. They suspect she has colitis or unknown origin. They gave metronidizol, pepcid ac, and a bland diet.
The night I brought her back from the emergency clinic, I think she peed in the house and had a little blood in it.
My 13 year old dog has some sort of upper GI bleed and has been producing dark tarry (bloody) liquid stool for 4 days since we saw our vet and were informed that there was nothing more that could be done. He is still eating and drinking water but my question is... how long until he loses too much blood? At what point does shock develop in dogs?
