    What Do These Symptoms Sound Like?

    in Health and Medical discussion

    Posted

    Lola woke up early today, a little restless. Went outside and wanted to eat a lot of grass. Had a normal poop. Then on our walk, had a very small, but bright red bloody stool. There was grass coming out of her butt, too. Can a blade of grass cut their colon or intestine?

    Now, just restlessness, panting, pacing, and loud stomach sounds. I looked up bloat and intestinal blockage and the symptoms don't quite line up.

    She did drink some dog park water 2 days ago which she probably shouldn't have. My mistake.

    Gave a Gas-X 15 minutes ago and her stomach is quieter now. Not interested in breakfast, but neither of them are and that's pretty normal.

    This is so frustrating. oy. Lola has been with us less than a week, but she seemed to be settling in very well. any ideas??

    much thanks,

    tracy

    ps. lying down now and seems to be wanting to go to sleep....

    our dog loves to chew on Flossies. They are made by Merrick and it's a dried tendon shaped into a spiral chew thing. They come in different sizes; we get the Phat Flossies. She loves them SO much, and they scrape the tartar off. No stomach problems. Good luck with Sol. (love that name...it was my grandpa's)

    we used to take Abby to the dog park several times a month. she was a very intense player and would try to race every dog. she didn't come from the track, but boy was she fast..... Jackie, our new grey, has been to the same dog park twice so far. both times, it was fairly empty (it's so darn hot). she was nice to the other dogs, and spent most of her time sniffing and exploring. she raced until she was 5, and did very well, but now she doesn't like to run much. or get up off the couch. :D

    you seem like an extremely responsible and caring owner. this was just a little mistake and thank heavens you got her back. just give her some time to get over it (and you, too!). time will heal the distress over this. when we first got abby, there were some instances early on where i thought "oh my god, now she's ruined". but everything passes, and this will too.

    Diets And Supplements For A Senior With Lymphoma

    When Abby had advanced mast cell cancer, our homeopathic vet recommended Bravo raw food. She did very well on it, and liked it. It's mushy stuff in a tube. She was 13 and never had a raw thing in her life before that.

    We also tried this stuff http://www.helpyourdog.net/Birkdale-PetMix-p/651.htm which she also liked. i think it's specially formulated to help dogs fight cancer.

    All the really good canned foods are good suggestions also, i think. we were advised to stay away from grains, absolutely.

    all the best to you,

    tracy
