Blood in poop
Hey all hope everyone is well.
Today I took lobo out for his regular morning pee an poop. He was struggling to squeeze his poop out. Did so eventually but had a bit sticking out. He squealed for a bit and then as he swung his but around a little log fell out. It had a tiny bit of blood on it and there was a small like 5p size bone that had blood on it. He can sit on his bum. And doesn't squeal if I touch his bum or any other part of his body. He did become very submissive and then as I was stroking him there was a sound like a little fizz and a little piece of poop dropped out. Followed by another then another. He seems to be acting fine after the fizz poop. Nipping and jumping as usual. But has squatted to poop 2or 3 times after that in the garden. His bum inside is a little red. Do you Gus thing I should take him to the vet or ride it out?
He ate a gammon ham bone yesterday followed by his dinner. Smaller portion than usual because of the bone
Cheers guys sorry if it sounds muddled up

Re: Blood in poop
Generally I would say blood in poop means a vet visit x

Re: Blood in poop
Also I tried giving him a treat he didn't take it and didn't bother with his food either. He normally goes nuts for his food (raw meal)

Re: Blood in poop
If he's off his food too then a vet trip is probably best x

Re: Blood in poop
May be strain but as said if he is off food then a vets trip would be best

Re: Blood in poop
Yes I would also agree a trip to the vets or at least a phone to them to explain what has happened. The blood may well have been from straining but best to get him checked in case there is a further blockage.

Re: Blood in poop
Hey guys thanks for all your replies. I ended up taking him to the vet. I called she said watch him over night then bring him in. But they're closed tomorrow. Didn't want to chance it.
She said instead of bones give him rawhide. She said what's probably happened is he's scratched his insides. Not to worry though it happens. She gave me liquid paraffin to give him a couple of times throughout the day. She said should help get the rest of the bones out. Other than that he walks fine had a bit of sausage little while ago and took a nap. Touch wood he looks okay . Phew
Thank you all again

Re: Blood in poop
Yes I would avoid rawhide. Your feeding raw arnt you? If he isn't chewing his bones enough you could give mince with bone in? Although that won't keep his teeth clean.
