RE: Puppy with Blood in Its Stool
Hello. I myself raise pug puppies and have ran into this problem here and there. In my own experience when a puppy has had blood or mucus in the stool it has been coccidia. This is very common in young puppies when they are under stress, such as leaving mommy or going to a new home. It is always a good idea to do a parvo test just to rule it out (the cost for the test is around $40). Revival animal clinic has a medicine that is uncostly to treat coccidia, it is $24 and I have had luck with it in the past.

Also just because a young puppy has had 1 or 2 parvo shots that does not mean that it will not get parvo. If a puppy is exposed to parvo that young, even if it has had it's first shots, it probably hasn't built up enough immunity to the virus to fight it off. I'm not a vet, but I am just talking from research and experience.

I have a 2 month Old Puppy, a Pomeranian. His name is Valentine. He is adjusting just fine to his new home. Except his stool is very soft & he eats dry food. I haven't noticed myself but my brother- in-law said he saw blood in his stool a few times. What does that mean?

Hi my name is Jessie, I just bought a shi tzu pekineses puppy from the penny saver and he too was born on November 15th, we just found out that he has parvo and that he had it when I bought him I have not even had him for a week and he is in the vet fighting for his life right now. I am completely devastated, where did you get your dog from? please take your puppy to the vet immediately! I hope we didn't get the dog from the same people, but if we did we need to do something about it because these people cant be selling parvo puppies, it's not right. please email back. jessie_53089 AT yahoo.com

RE: Puppy With Blood In Its Stool
I just got a puppy three days ago. A small two pound shih tzu. She's had her first set of shots. She was born on November 15. She seems to be doing really well. Catching on to the "pee pad" and playing eating very healthy but there is a little bit of blood around her poop not every time but most of them. It can be very runny and yellow at times almost gel like.
When she first got here they weren't like that but I don't know if its the food the breeder sent me a bag of the food so i mixed it with the new stuff I got and am slowly introducing that to her. I have a four year old and I was hoping maybe it was stress from being in a new environment where my daughter runs, yells, and jumps. I'm trying to get her to be a little calmer around the puppy so she doesn't scare her, but other than that she treats her very well.
I'm very scared. She's been here only four or five days and me my husband and my daughter are so in love with her . If something happened I don't know what I'd do.
My husband finally convinced me to get another puppy after my brand new rottie puppy was stolen out of my yard 5 years ago. I had her for a month. After that I couldn't bear to get another one. I was so scared something would happen. She has an appointment for the vet next week. Please if you know anything email me at: daryanl AT nb.sympatico.ca Thank you

I just recently rescued 3 chow pups bout 2 to 2 and a half months ago, I have no idea how old they are. They were abandoned on the side of the road with their momma, sadly their momma had gotten hit. She was on the verge of dying and I wasn't able to save her also. Recently one puppy has been losing his hair around his eyes and one is having some darkish red tint to his stool. I know everyone is saying PARVO but I've had a dog before with parvo at a different location and its also been over 2 years.
None of my pups that I just rescued are having any signs of parvo. What else could it be. There isn't no way I can afford all three of their vet bills even tho I am taking the one that's losing his hair tomorrow. Please reply to me at badfreak24 AT aol.com

I just got a new 7 week old Pomeranian. He was taken away from his mother pretty early, that is what I was told. I bought him some puppy chow which I was told he was not used to. His previous owners left him in terrible living conditions. He had a bloody stool the first night but hasn't since. Should I still get him checked?

RE: Puppy With Blood In Its Stool
I have been breeding puppies for about 10 yrs. This last litter is the only litter I have experienced problems with. They were fine. I did the worming 1 CC per every 10 of body weight (Strongid) from the age of 2 weeks and every 2 weeks there after. Then at 6 weeks I administered their first shots. One of the puppies died (litter of 8).
Then I noticed dark stool that all puppies were doing. Then it became gel like with some blood in stool. I continued the wormer as scheduled. At 9 weeks I gave them their Booster shots. The stool seems to clear up, keeps coming back.
What I don't understand, is I see some answers that says it may be Parvo. But, I am giving them their Parvo shots and now Boosters. Plus not to mention the continuance of the wormer. I am taking them to Vet first thing Monday morning. I need to get to the bottom of this. Unless someone has some good sound advice.

My puppy is an 8 wk old shitzu. I gave him the recommended dose of liquid puppy wormer. His first stool contained a few worms. Upon the second time passing stool, quite a bit of jelly-like blood came out in the stool. Several drops of blood came out as well. Is this normal after worming? Need help ASAP. Thank U.

We have an 8.5 week old Pitbull who has been popping loose stools since early today with blood in it. The blood has been dripping from his butt as well and he vomited once today. We immediately took him to the vet & he tested negative for parvo. What else can it be? The vet is now closed & I am extremely worried as his conditions have gotten worse since we left.

RE: Puppy With Blood In Its Stool
Tam- the same can be said for baby humans. If you need to take a test to get a dog or cat, it's more of a necessity before one should have a child. I'm sure inexperience has made the transition hard for a lot of dogs, but I also think it's a normal experience for a dog to be scared and have these symptons- even with good parents.
We have had a dog before and are experiencing this same issue with our new puppy- the dog is not stressed by anything more than learning to call a new place home. He slept a total of 2 hours in his crate in three days while my husband and I slept right outside of it and no one is dragging him around. Depending on the breed of dogs, some are more sensitive than others, it takes a lot out of them to change to a new home. He's slowly getting a little more comfortable each day.
To the woman who was worried that her vet misdiagnosed- go with your gut. Again, do as you would with your human child. If you are willing to pay for the appointment, what should they care if you ask them to check your dog out if it eases your mind? It just shows how much you care.

RE: Puppy With Blood In Its Stool
I have met more people who go out and buy puppies not even knowing the first thing about caring for a dog. They even admit it. They end up stressing the puppy by doing all sorts of stupid things. One common thing is letting their kids play with it, drag it around on a leash all the while it is choking or gagging, drop or throw it like a stuffed animal then wonder why its gets stressed or sick. People ought to have to pass a test before being allowed to own a dog or cat.
I really love it when people say I can't afford to pay much for a puppy. (well then you can't afford the vet bills, the dog food and rest of the care either). Why don't people use the internet or buy books and research care, feeding the breed of dog their interested in then decide if a puppy or dog is right for them.
I know a lot that work all day, get a new puppy lock it in a crate and expect everything to be normal. Dogs are pack animals and need the company of others not locked in a crate then come out for their owners entertainment. I look at this as abuse and not in the best interest of the animal.

The pup now had a very loose stool w/ a little blood in it. I am going to get the worm medicine today. Could the worms have cased the blood?

RE: Puppy With Blood In Its Stool
I just bought a miniature beagle 3 month old puppy from a breeder locally. I noticed that last night-the night that I brought her home- that when she went poop, there was a drop of blood at the end of her stool. I assumed that it was just from stress since she had an hour drive home and is now alone instead of with brothers and sisters. Today, when I came home from work and let her out, she tried to go, and pooped very little, but she had several drops of blood while still trying to go. She is a laid back puppy but it still active, but she has been eating less. The breeder told me that she had pneumonia when she was very young, but has seen the vet recently and is fine. She said that my little girl has had all of her shots and she gave her a booster when I picked her up* I was holding her when she gave it to her. She also gave her worm medicine. Should I contact this vet and verify what I have been told? I dont want it to turn out to be Parvo---in another part of the house. My boyfriend's sister has 2 chihuahuas and I don't want to give it to them is she does. Any help?

RE: Puppy With Blood In Its Stool
Chihuahuas have a very delicate stomach. Any change in diet can cause a loose stool. The only bad part is that if you don't catch it in time this problem can lead to low sugar attach. Having frequent bowel movements and not replacing the food.

RE: Puppy With Blood In Its Stool
I did end up taking my puppy to the vet. The vet did not think it was parvo since my puppy has not thrown up and has not acted lethargic. I have another de-wormer and and antibiotic now and some hills science diet i/d (canned) so we will see how he does with all that and hopefully he won't get worse. It is so stressful when you bring a new puppy home and something like that happens because you do all you're supposed to, to keep them safe and you worry that it's something bad but you don't know until you take them to the vet. I hope everyone's puppies are doing ok.

I just got a new puppy and it is six weeks old, they had just been weaned and were eating dry food. My puppy's stools have been somewhat soft since he's been here and then I just switches his food also and now he has blood in it today, so I am thinking this is something very common for puppies going to new homes with the stress and new diet, etc. I will monitor it very closely over the next 2-3 days and if he is still having problems, I will take him to our vet. I just don't want to rush it after one day.

RE: Puppy With Blood In Its Stool
My puppy is almost 7 weeks old and we were given him from the breeder at 6 weeks, at which time she had been weaning him off of mother's milk and onto Iams. She told us that his stools were discolored red due to the red food dyes in the puppy food and all of the puppies were experiencing the same stool issues. We wanted to put him on a better brand and decided to buy Nutro, and also because he was so young and we didn't realize that they should not be weaned until 8 weeks we bought formula and mix mostly formula with a small amount of softened Nutro. His stools have improved, but are still watery and light brown, sometimes a little yellowish in color with a small amount of blood towards the end. He just received his shots and also came into a new home, possibly way to early so we thought it was stress. He also switched food. I know the first thought on everyone's mind is PARVO, but he has no other symptoms and a strong appetite and is very active and no vomiting, along with many other factors that could cause diarrhea. Opinions?

RE: Puppy With Blood In Its Stool
If you blood in their stool, just as every one else said take your baby to the vet to get it checked just in case if its any thing serious. One really good medicine that works on them when they have loose stool and they don't really want to eat for what ever reason, is Amforol. This medicine is kind of like peptobismol for humans. Still take your puppy to the vet for a check up.

After taking my pup to the vet, actually at the vet, she has had blood in her stool. The vet took a sample right then and there. Her stool came back normal. However, since then, she has had bloodier stools. She eats like a horse, drinks well, and plays all the time. She just had her shots at the vet b4 this happened. When I got her, she had kennel cough. She's was on antibiotics for over 14 days. I am wondering if the pills could have hurt her tummy. Any suggestions? Hope it's not parvo!

I have a 12 week old lab. I got him about two weeks ago. He was exposed to parvo, 7 days before I got him. I took him to be checked out by the vet and to received his shots about two weeks ago. The vet said he was healthy. He is very playful, and eating well!! Today I noticed blood in his stool and his stools are much softer. He seems to go, then finish with a runny type mucous bloody discharge. He may have been chewing on my plants in the backyard and eating grass. Could it be the plants?

My 11 week old Pomeranian puppy has had the same symptoms off and on for two weeks since we got her. I worried at first but she is up to date on all of her shots, had a recent exam and we dropped off a sample to the vet and it came back ok. I'm just going to monitor her and not going to worry excessively about it since she is very active, happy and playing and eating plenty.

RE: Puppy With Blood In Its Stool
Hi everyone. We are going through the same thing with our 2 month old lab..the bloody runny poop.It all started after his first shots. After spending at least 800 dollars in two weeks out of sheer panic and everyone screaming "PARVO" and a vet very willing to feed into our fears we have calmed down a bit. I have talked to numerous puppy parents and EVERY SINGLE puppy has had the same issues...and Nutro sentitive tummy seems to be the biggest help for our little Harley. He's taking some antibiotics for his little inflamed colon and we have made progress with the consistency of his poop. I definitely agree, test him for all parasites, etc but sometimes it's fine tuning the diet for their little bellies. They go through a lot all at once with first shots, deworming etc. If the dog is eating and drinking and playing then chances are REALLY GOOD IT IS NOT PARVO .Brown rice, plain boiled chicken mixed in to the nutro will help too.Good Luck- It's funny how a good poop can be the best news ever!

We recently got a pitbull puppy and he has had a lil bit of blood in his stool since we got him. But tonight I went into the bathroom where he is kept when no one is home and there was a pile of blood by itself. Now i know he had worms and we wormed him 5 days ago and he is due again in 5 more days. He has had all shots except the rabies shot which we will get at 6 months. But i am concerned for what is causing this and if my other animals are in danger.
Editor's Note: Even though he has had his shots, it could be Parvo. Please call the vet.

Hi it's me Sara again.My dog was taken to the vet and she said it was probably stress that caused her to throw up and have blood in the stool. My dog had stayed over night, but as I left the vet they said they found some poison in her. She was okay,though. The technician said that the stress caused it and the poison was just a coincidence.Do you think she's right? Anyways,if it is the stress than it was because of Thanksgiving. I had at my house and there was a lot of people. So if your pet has thrown up and had blood in the stool it could be stress. It may sound silly for a little stress to have all these things happen. It isn't parvo, because she has had the shot. I also forgot that on the other feedback I wrote My dog was 2, but is actually 1.

RE: Puppy With Blood In Its Stool
I just got a 11 week old Mini Doxie puppy, I noticed that when she pooped, there was always a very faint trace of blood usually towards the end of the poop. She eats very well, plays and runs around a lot, but also sleeps a lot.
I took her to the vet to get her started and evaluated because I know lots of per times health certificates are b.s/ the vet said she is perfect, and I also told her about the blood in the stool, she said not to worry etc. She did a fecal, but didn't do a parvo test. The puppy had her parvo shots when she was younger, and the vet gave her a 2nd series of shots when I just took her.
Should I take her back and specifically request a parvo test? This vet has dozens herself, and this is a very, very reputable animal hospital, so I don't think she'd send me home thinking it's fine, if its not, but I'm still worried about my baby girl! Advice?

Puppy Peeing - Mucous Discharge
Hi,
This is a little off topic here, but I don't know how to start a new thread..
My 2 month old female puppy is on anti inflammatory medication as she is having trouble peeing... She squats and squats and very little comes out.
There is also some yellowy mucous that comes out when she pees. This is what I am very concerned about. Does anyone know what this might be and if it is serious?? The vet didn't seem too concerned, but I am... This is my first puppy.
Thanks everyone! I can be emailed at kimberlyk21(at)hotmail(dot)com

Editor's Note: Call the vet immediately. It sounds like she's having trouble with the medication. A little one like that needs help, now. if that vet doesn't care, call another one.

P.S. Most vets don't honor shots given by a breeder, where I work there is a 12 year old kid who breeds his dogs and sells them on the internet. Anyone can be a "Breeder".

RE: Puppy With Blood In Its Stool
Ok, Everyone, I've worked at a vet clinic for four years, and I have to tell you Blood in stool is not as serious in dogs as it is in people. In Fact it's very common. When dogs get stressed (boarding, new member in a household, absence of a member of the household or even a change in environment or food) they show it through a change in their bowel movements. Cats do this too by peeing outside the litter box. The blood found in the stool is cause by the straining of the stomach and can be fixed with a prescription for Metronidazole.
I know when people see blood in an unvaccinated puppy red flags go off saying PARVO PARVO! But they fail to mention the other symptoms of Parvo such as acting lethargic, vomiting, and a loss in appetite. Also people who have worked around dogs who have been diagnosed with parvo say that their is a distinct smell. And sadly the puppies with parvo carry this look in their eyes like they have just been beaten. If it is parvo, then there is unfortunately very little hope for the dog, and most vets will recommend putting the dog to sleep.
With a puppy of eight weeks old is probably safe from parvo IF the mother was vaccinated. Through nursing and embilical cord the puppies gain some of the mothers immunities. However, these immunities are not prominent and I recommend scheduling a visit with a vet after getting ANY new pet.
Important! Parvo is a parasite! and if you have a dog with parvo and they use the bathroom outside then the soil becomes contaminated for up to 2 years. So if you've lost a puppy to parvo, then you don't need to introduce another unvaccinated dog or puppy into your home for two years.

Hi, I have just bought a daschound Female, 8 week old pup...as of last weekend. She is a bouncy, fun, lil dog. Yet weve noticed she has been having blood in her stools. It started out at lil drops, now it is a bigger amount, mixed with a icky mucus slime. What could be wrong with our lil girl? We give her Nutro Natural Choice, dry puppy food. We do not give her table scraps. She hasn't had her shots...we were going to do that Vet visit soon. Maybe sooner now that she is passing blood. We are very concerned for her well being. Please let us know what could be the cause of this. Thank you.
Editor's Note: Because she hasn't had her shots, it could be Parvo. Please take her right away.

I have a Jack Russell Terrier puppy about four months old. At first her stool was dark and solid; however over the past couple of days she's had blood in her stool and it's getting more and more watery but still was a little solid. This morning however it was a light brown almost beige with blood in the stool and straight watery. What should I do? I need to take her to the vet but they don't open until eight. Any information would be most helpful.
Editor's Note: Sounds like it could be Parvo or something serious. Take her to the vet.
