My Dog Has Bloody Diarrhea And Vomiting,what's The Matter With Her?

The appearance of blood in your dog's stool is a sign that it needs to be seen by a vet as soon as possible - much the same as blood in a person's stool is a sign that they need to get to a hospital right away.

The causes are often similar too, and so are the results. Blood in the stool is usually a sign of renal failure of other kidney problems, which can deteriorate rapidly and lead to death. If your dog is also suffering from vomiting and diarrhoea, it is quite likely that it will also be very dehydrated, which is not only detrimental to its health on its own, but can also cause complications by hindering your dog's ability to heal itself. Hydration is essential for most of the body's processes, and it will be of utmost importance to keep it well watered, though it may not drink willingly. Dogs suffering from these three symptoms are also in severe danger of an electrolyte imbalance, circulatory collapse and depletion of blood glucose levels. The more severe the symptoms, the more urgent the case, but without treatment the death of your dog is a very large possibility.

There are a number of causes of these symptoms, both benign and malignant. Benign causes range from things like a drastic change in diet to huge emotional stress - moving house, for instance, or people in the home suffering extreme emotional distress. Malignant causes include, but are not limited to, infections (both fungal and bacterial), Parvo virus, poisoning and pancreatic insufficiency.

Get your dog to a vet as soon as possible.

Your dog is suffering from hemorrhagic gastroenteritis. This is an emergency situation which needs timely veterinary care and if left untreated, it can be life threatening for your dog. Hemorrhagic gastroenteritis or HGE can have an effect on any breed and may happen at any age. Both males and females are equally affected by HGE. The root cause of this disease has not been proven yet. The treatment of HGE is aggressive supportive care which would be fluid therapy administered intravenously with potassium along with fluids and no food or water orally administered at all for up to four days. Food can be administered slowly after that.

just took my 13 week old puppie to the vet today for foaming at the mouth diarrhea, and vomiting as well as loss of appitite. She also became depressed. I hope thi shelps. I am doing I.V at home with Pepto and electrolites. As wellas prescription pain meds. Tramadol. Also tow injections of antibiotics. Hope all goes well. Good luck and don't forget to pray for your lil buddy. God knows I have ALL DAY!

Parvo virus can occur in dogs of all ages, but it is seen more often in puppies because their immune systems are not as strong. Puppies should be vaccinated for parvo virus at age 6 weeks, 10 weeks, and again at age 14 weeks (the actually week may vary based on your veterinarian). After that, dogs should receive annual vaccinations.

Three vaccinations are necessary to ensure that the vaccination takes hold. Antiboides that your puppy inherits from the mother sometimes prevent the vaccine from working. This occurs in 10% of puppies after 2 vaccinations.
There is no cure for parvo, so regular vaccinations are crucial. It is possible for one form of parvo to pass through the placenta of the mother and infect a fetus before it is born.

 

Parvo Symptoms in Puppies

The severity of parvo symptoms is related to the extend of the exposure. Mild exposure in a kennel or dog show may only result in mild symptoms.
Parvo symptoms in puppies are quite severe. Symptoms usually begin with a high fever, lack of appetite, and lethargy. Next comes vomiting and severe diarrhea. Diarrhea is often yellow in color, bloody, and very foul smelling. Dehydration and shock can occur. Many puppies with parvo virus do not survive.
There is a decrease in white blood cell count and ulceration of the intestinal lining, leaving puppies vulnerable to secondary bacterial infection. Many puppies with parvo also have hookworms.
The virus can also attack a dog’s heart, causing congestive heart failure. This can happen months or even years after an apparent recovery from the intestinal form of the disease.

 

Parvo Symptoms in Puppies Diagnosis

If parvo symptoms in puppies are observed, the puppies need to see a vet immediately for treatment. Parvo can be diagnosed by testing a sample of their stool, so bring a stool sample with you to the vet. The vet will probably do blood work and check for a low white blood cell count using a ELISA test. Fecal testing equipment is not widely available.

 

Parvo Symptoms in Puppies Treatment

There is no cure for parvo virus, but supportive care is needed if the puppies are to survive. Supportive care consists of IV or subcutaneous (under the skin) fluids to combat dehydration, medications to stop vomiting and diarrhea, and antibiotics to prevent secondary bacterial infections from taking hold. A de-worming treatment is also given when the puppies are well enough to tolerate it. Puppies with parvo will probably require hospitalization.
The puppies’ environment will need to be disinfected so that they do not become reinfected with the virus, since it can live for up to six months on objects such as toys, bedding, and cage floors. Use half a cup of bleach to a gallon of water, and wash all items thoroughly. Wash soft item in hot water.

 

Home Remedy for Puppy Parvo

Most dogs need more than processed foods, even high quality ones, to stay healthy. A great diet will help restore health to ill dogs and often prevent health problems. Veterinary colleges are now recommending that vaccines be given every three years or only one time per lifetime in many situations. Holistic and homeopathic veterinarians find that vaccines, in many dogs, cause the most damage to the immune system and prevent dogs from becoming healthy.
Supplements such as Parvo (30C) is a homeopathic preparation of the canine parvovirus vaccine. Used homeopathically, Parvo (30C) can help to support and strengthen the animal’s natural immune defenses and promote systemic and digestive health and balance. Other remedies include Arsen alb.(6C), Verat. Alb.(6C)and Belladonna (30C) are also helpful for parvo support. mParvo-K from PetAlive is a proven herbal dog Parvovirus treatment that combines these ingredients

A trip to the vet!! What would you do if it were you or one of your children? I can't get over the fact that so many people on this site will let a pet suffer. You're not talking about fleas or a tick. This is a pet that is very ill. It's a living creature, and he can't take care of himself. Take the responsibility of caring for him properly, or find someone who will.

Dogs eat grass to calm an upset belly. Then they puke. It's a good thing. If your dog has been eating bones, you may have a Lil bigger problem. The bone shards wedge in the intestine, and reek havoc. Keep an eye on the stools.... If they continue to be bloody, and the sick sticks- YOU MAY HAVE PARVO. Now that's a scary one... A dog usually dies within 24 hours.....

Diarrhea and vomiting in dogs can be due to many reasons. If the stool is bloody then the condition is called chronic diarrhea. It requires medical attention because he can have electrolyte deficiency and loss of appetite leading to weight loss. The causes of chronic diarrhea can be intestinal parasites, bacterial infection, due food allergy, Liver diseases, ingestion of indigestible things like stones, wood and rocks. It will be better to take your dog to vet for diagnosis and treatment.

Do NOT give this dog Tylenol.  This can cause gastrointestinal upset and will make the vomiting/diarrhea worse and could do further damage.  Tylenol is also not the treatment for vomiting and diarrhea.  
Dogs can get viral intestinal upset that can cause mild and self-limiting.  If this does not resolve in 12-24 hours have your dog examined by a veterinarian.

Your puppy needs to be examined by a veterinarian immediately.  If your dog has not been vaccinated it is possible parvo virus is the cause of the bloody diarrhea and vomiting.  This is a disease that is almost always fatal without aggressive treatment.  The virus attacks the lining of the intestines and leads to a systemic infection.  Treatment involves in correcting the severe dehydration, intravenous antibiotics, and supportive care.  
Dietary indiscretion, toxin exposure, and foreign body obstruction are other concerns in a puppy.  
Treatment at home will not work as your dog is vomiting and oral hydration cannot correct the fluid loss.

There are many things that can cause bloody diarrhea, vomiting, and anorexia.  If this is an unvaccinated puppy or young adult dog this may be parvo virus.  This is a viral disease that attacks the lining of the intestines.  Severe intestinal parasitism is possible.  Foreign body obstruction, toxin exposure, dietary indiscretion, and metabolic diseases can also cause these signs.  Your dog needs to be examined by a veterinarian for diagnostics and supportive care.

Bloody diarrhea in dogs need special diagnostic protocol and accurate treatment because this condition can be life threatening if not treated on time. Following are possible reasons of bloody diarrhea in dogs.

1. Parvo that is a contagious viral infection
   
2. Garbage ingestion because garbage is rich source of toxins, poisons and bacteria
   
3. Hemorrhagic gastroenteritis that can be due to poisons, autoimmune disease, Clostridium infection, and due to unknown causes.
   

Different laboratory tests are needed to diagnose above mentioned causes. This can be done by vets only, so, take your dog to vet.

Yes, in careful dosage, dogs can tolerate acetaminophen, but it can be highly toxic to dogs, so you should consult a vet or Emergency vet line before dosing.

Here is a site which can provide more information for dosing and care in giving your dog Tylenol:

PS - just read your comment under the other answer here that your dog is vomiting.  Tylenol is a drug used for pain relief, not for digestive distress.If your dog is vomiting and has diarrhea, Tylenol would likely aggravate his/her stomach and digestive tract even more severely.  Your dog needs a vet.  Try calling veterinary poison control line and speaking to a veterinary medicine professional or going to the vet 24-hour ER clinic as soon as possible.

The doctors suggest to keep away all food an water from your dog in such a condition. When condition improves, give him/her only bland food. As you said that you have found blood in stool. It is alarming and should be consulted immediately with vet.

Just like human animals can also have sensitive stomachs and the vomiting and diarrhea can be the cause of bad eating

That my dear sounds like PARVO!!! BAD BAD thing ! Dogs don't live through this unless they are treated by vets and pumped with fluids cause they don't eat, and hardly drink water. Very urgent thing to take care of right away !

My dog did have diarrhea a week a go so I might be able to help.

don't feed your dog any oil food fatty food. Feed your dog boiled brown rice. And boiled chicken. Dried bread.

hope this helps you until the vet is open.

For two days I have noticed my dog vomiting and has diarrhea and today I seen blood in his
stool.
What can I do to help my dog?

Could be garbage gut.  When a dog eats something that isn't food.  If there is mucus in the stool, you might want to see a vet.
As long as there is vomiting, you usually don't need to worry.....it will pass.  Vomiting is a good sign and so are the loose stools, that the body is getting rid of something.  If there is an obstruction, then mucus will show up and you need to see a vet.  Dogs will sometimes eat about anything, like their toys or even clothing.  If they can't rid their body of it, then the mucus begins to form.  I wouldn't go to bed without seeing what happens.

I was reading for my report and I'm doing it on dogs and it says take it to a vet it's probably because something is wrong with your dog's inside or a whip worm caused it to happen whip worm is something that goes in your dog and eats it's inside and skin

DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT give her TYLENOL!. This product will kill your dog! Yes, dogs do get the flu, that is why you should get your dogs  vaccinations updated every year. I hope I am not too late in answering your question, I did not check the date first.

MY dog has had all her shots. I tooke her to the park and she waws eating lots of grass and weeds that were there. Ever since that day she has not stopped vomiting and has diarrhea. I took her to the vet today and meds are not working.....HELP

If there's blood in it, I would take doggy to the vet asap.

No because that's only for people and it can kill your dog

Parvo

Parvo [if shes not up on her shots]

Maybe she is pregnant

My dog as been loosing  blood and she as a black tonge

Take her to the vet.

Sounds like your dog , has some kind of worms , cause that is symptoms , I recommend a vet , as soon , as possible.

Sounds like your dog has worms , thats, How most dogs act.

I would take your dog to the vets , as soon as possible.

What is wrong with the dog.  Even though dogs have human ailments and illnesses. They can't take human medications.  Call his vet in the morning

Possible blood in feces (TODAY) dog is a beagle and shows no other symptoms  but this.  Who can answer what this might be?

I would dogs don't run a fever that easy. By the way dogs run a higher normal temp then humans. There normal temp is 100.5-102.5F. You should be concerned if your dogs temp is over 103F.

You should take your dog to the vet. This happened to my dog and she was almost dying. Its a big vet bill like more than $1000 dollars but its worth saving her life.

I had that happen to my dog and I am glad I rushed her to the hospital. She had rat poison in her system. Was extremely close to dying.

My dog will not quit puking and having diarrhea I mean if he puts any thing in it goes out can't keep nothing down, he stayed at the vet all weekend we got him today and he is still doing the same...What could this be?

My 5 month old chihuahua is vomiting,diarrhea, blooding from he's rectum, not eating,no energy it's not like him.what's wrong with him

I agree with getvet, though I'm not as sure on the diagnosis. If he goes two days in that condition, consult a vet and cease feeding him anything but water until you can deliver him safely.

Reply to peach_pug

wait 2 days then take him to the vet.

Bloody stool and vomitting are also symptoms of parvo which can kill a dog within 2 days of contraction.  don't wait, go to a vet now

My 10 month old dog has had a lot of diarrhea and is now vomiting to the point that she is throwing up clear liquid.  What shoud I do?

This sounds like cancer in the stomach or intestines. My dog was sick throwing up water, and lost his appetite, your question is what all the vets I took my pet to asked, does he bleed in his stool, puke, diarrhea? because that sounds like cancer, I strongly suggest you take your dog to a vet immediately, your pet is in a lot of pain, like a human with stomach cancer.
