Bloody mucus and loose stool
My Lab,Dalmation mix is going on 11yrs old... He has been pooping running stool with droplets of blood in it for 2 days,,, now he went and it was a "pink rose' colored watery fluid only,,, this was after a very loose stool with a few drops of blood in it,,, I'm sure he needs medical attention but also has a history of anal glands filling up and they have not been drained recently...When we got home I gave him a healthy bowl of 'Ultra" dry and wet for senior pups and he is eating as normal... I was going to wait until the weekend is over to call the vet... Should I be alarmed and get him to an emergency appointment asap? Any thoughts from similar experience? Thanks,,, And hope good health to all the ailing animals out there!!
Agree with Blu. I would be very concerned about that bleeding.
Hope it is nothing serious.
Hope it is nothing serious.
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.
I would not wait if this were my dog. The type of stool you describe is alarming. Blessings - Blu
