dog question

baby001

OK so I have a 4 year old male yorkie and about the last 6 hrs he's had bloody runny poop. It not just a little blood its about 1/3 blood to poop. I know I need to take him to the vet but they wont open for 3 hrs... what could it be? And what should I do?

He may have just torn a burst a blood vessel or something inside where hes been straining too much .. im no vet tho so id still get it checked

Try call a 24 hr vet - anywhere, and ask them what you can do in the meantime. Otherwise id just say watch over him, don't leave him by himself.

It does sound like a blood vessel. I used to work at a vet clinic a while back and saw it often. It could also b a cyst that hadformed inside and ruptured. I'm sure hell b fine just keep monitoring it.

I never leave him he's my baby... I just hate seeing him sick and nothing I can do to help... I tried calling my hubby's dad who is a vet but I guess his sleep is more important than his pregnat daughter in laws phone calls.

Aww bless him i live at my g.mas atm she has a yorkie hes soo cute but he constantly bites himself n makes himself yelp its like come on mate if it hurts dont do it silly.. but i hope ur lil doggie is ok soon im sure he will be and if u call an out of hrs vet they charge STUPIDDDD amounts i mean our out of hrs vet charges £120 just too be put on the bed but thats england idunno where ur from

baby001

@mummytuube I don't know how much they charge here either I'm going to try to wait it out. He's kept me up all night so I figure by the time I eat breakfast and get ready, I can be at their doorstep when they open. Ill just pretend I'm first in line for a black Friday sale waiting for the doors to open.

mummytuube

Aww yeh i deff would too bless him he must be in pain

Oh no! Poor little guy...I'm praying that your pup feels better soon!

mummytuube

Also tell them ur pregnant and ask if they can do a agreement were u can pay the bill in installments so its not such a hit on ur purse hun

baby001

@mummytuube luckily I told my dad he said whatever it is he'd pay the bill.. now I got to think of a good father's day gift!! He's a life saver!

mummytuube

Aww yeh deffo unfortunately my dad has loadsss to pay out of his wages so he couldnt help when my dog needed a vet .. but ill give him hes due he never will see me short of clothes food or anything (other then fags as hes a non-smoker and im giving up slowly) lol

My dog had a few similar episodes and it turned out to to be his anal glands. They were infected and it was a simple fix. Hope ur situation is too.

It can also be a type of worms
