My dog has bloody diarrhea and is puking?

Question

She doesnt eat human food... and got sick this morning! not sure what she could have eat... its a Sat and my vet is closed... hate to go to a EV unless i have to

Thank you for your responses...
I have taken her to the vet and she is still there now. There is a lot of history on this dog in the short time ive had her. She's two now I think but cant tell shes a rescue Airdale. The vet is sure its not parvo so now we are just putting fluids back in her via IV. i will post up later when i learn more.

Answer 1

Because of the blood combined with the puking and diarrhea, it is very important that you get your dog to an emergency Vet now. Early treatment for whatever is causing it gives the best chance for survival and some things you might do for your dog without Vet guidance could make your dog sicker depending on cause. If it is pancreatitis, a dog can go down real fast and they need I.V. or sub-Q fluids with antibiotics, pain meds and anti-nausea meds in the solution They can't eat anything or drink water even, by mouth until they are treated or they can get sicker. One of my dogs had two bouts of pancreatitis and nearly died. We had to stop feeding her any and all bones (cooked) and all rawhides, pigs ears etc. With a controlled diet she is fine. This is why you need a Vet, because you don't know what your dog needs or what will help your dog without an examination to properly treat and to identify the illness.
It may cost a chunk of change but waiting could be lethal.

It really does blow my mind that there are people that think bloody diarrhea and puking is not an emergency! My first thought was Parvo as we had a Rottie pup that died from it within days. Pulled from a shelter with his brother at about 12 weeks. One survived and one died. It's a HORRIBLE death.

Don't wait around for answers here, I hope you are at the vet now. We are just a bunch of people that have varying degrees of experience, some are vet techs and they are the ones that are telling you to get to a vet NOW. Those are the ones you need to listen to.

For those that don't think it's an emergency, google Parvo and read how horribly puppies die from it.

I was also told by the emergency vet that they are seeing more cases of Parvo this year, in older dogs (one was 3) that have been vaccinated. It is beginning to become resistant to vaccines. So if you have an older dog and it exhibits these symptoms, you better get to a vet.

If it is Parvo, be aware that you cannot bring a new puppy into your house for at least 6 mos. and clean everything you possibly can with bleach.

Answer 3

Bloody stools and vomiting IS an emergency. Check your phone book, there may be a vet that is 24 hr not just emergency. They are usually cheaper than EV. Either way GO NOW!

Unless you have a vet degree you do not want to try to take care of this yourself. There are times it is simple (very rare). Mostly it is not and to wait is to jeopardize you dogs life.

Do not self medicate the dog. You could do more harm than good when you don't know what is wrong.

With every day pass, our country is getting into more and more trouble. The inflation, unemployment and falling value of dollar are the main concern for our Government but authorities are just sleeping, they don’t want to face the fact. Media is also involve in it, they are force to stop showing the real economic situation to the people. I start getting more concern about my future as well as my family after watching the response of our Government for the people that affected by hurricane Katrina.

According to recent studies made by World Bank, the coming crisis will be far worse than initially predicted. So if you're already preparing for the crisis (or haven't started yet) make sure you watch this video at http://www.familysurvival.tv and discover the 4 BIG issues you'll have to deal with when the crisis hits, and how to solve them fast (before the disaster strikes your town!) without spending $1,000s on overrated items and useless survival books.

Answer 5

Take all food and water away.Try giving your pet the baby non-flavored pediolyte in place of water,this will replace any electrolytes it has lost,very important.Then boil some chicken,cut in small pieces,put in blender with small amount of water and puree.The important thing is to get something back into stomach.Try also giving a dab of plain honey on tongue,this will raise its sugar level as it is probably low from throwing up and diarrhea.If you haven't wormed your pet lately,this is probably the problem,but wait til her stomach has settled down some before you reworm.If diarrhea continues,call your vet as this pet could have cocci,or parvo virus if not been vaccinated for such.Also try giving the pet about 1/4 cc on a 3cc syringe of pepto bismol every 4 hours.

Answer 7

The signs that you are stating are signs of Parvo!
If her energy level is down, that is another sign of Parvo!

A friend of mine has three dogs, one dog starting vomiting and had bloody diarrhea, they took her to the vet and it was parvo, they took the other two dogs to the vet just in case and they needed treatment as well. Some reason these things happen on the weekend it seems!!!

I'm doing basic obedience right now. My trainer hasn't once handled my dog. He has shown me how to handle my dog by using his own dog but that's about it. The reasoning is that I need to learn how to do these basic corrections and what not myself. Learn more https://tinyurl.im/Lhz0I

I have never considered sending my dog away for training. I guess I haven't found that much of a problem with him to even think about it.

Again, it may also have to do with the level of training you are looking for etc. No idea lol. I'm not a trainer. I think a first time dog owner needs to learn simple commands and how to handle their dog themselves as well.

Answer 9

All of you guys giving advice on this situation when I'm sorry to any of you have a degree that involves animals??????????? You are all telling this person to not give her dog water!?! With the dogs stool and the dog vomiting that can cause serious dehydration! Her dog NEEDS WATER!

Find another vet fast. If this is Hemorrhagic gastroenteritis (HGE) the dog should be on antibiotics and posssibly IV fluids. The dehydration and blood loss can lead to death in a matter of hours.
