When a dog has been bleeding out of his butt and then dies, there are a number of conditions he could have been suffering from. As some dog breeds are more prone to contracting certain diseases than others, a vet would be the best person to assess what happened to your dog based on his health history and breed. It is likely though that your dog could have been suffering from a condition known as hemorrhagic gastroenteritis (HGE).
HGE may be characterized by a sudden onset of diarrhea that may be very bloody, accompanied by vomiting. Your dog may seem very weak and lose his appetite. If the dog is not taken to a vet as soon as possible, there is a chance the disease could prove fatal.
This disease is quite common and can affect any breed of dog of any gender at any stage of their life. There are also cases that show some dogs that have previously contracted the disease and were treated, may well develop it again in the future. On the other hand, many other dogs may never experience it.
Also, the exact causes are not totally known so if an owner does see their dog exhibit any of the above-mentioned symptoms get him to a vet as soon as possible. Some theories suggest it could be caused by stress, diet, bacterial toxins in the body or even a reaction to a parasite in the intestines.
