Enema Lavage on Pet

I have a 5yr old papillon, 11lbs, who was constipated and given an enema lavage along with a dosage of lactulose (10g/15ml). She has not had much of a bowel movement, but instead, she has blood coming from her anus. What are the typical side effects of an enema lavage?

Please take your dog to the vet. I'm an advocate of alternative treatments, but I wouldn't advise this in the future. The fact that your dog is bleeding and you don't know what to do tells me that you are not skilled enough to manage the minor or more serious complications that could come of this.

She should go to the vet immediately. Blood from the anus is never normal, regardless if she was given an enema or not.

Let us know what happens.
