Pup

[Hunting Lad 50]

My 7 week old pup is passing blood in her poo just had her a week. Going to take her to the vets tomorrow just hope its not parvo. Was going to do her jabs tomorrow aswell.

 

She is still eating well and drinking water and is very playfull and active. Could it be anything else since i have got her i have changed her diet to raw minced meat and meaty bones mixed with a good complete food.

Is she showing any other signs of being ill? Lethargic, off her food, drinking a lot?

 

If it is Parvo I'm led to believe that the survival rates are quite high these days if you get the dog to the vets early enough.

could be the diet mate too high in protein at such a young age i no they say feed raw but every dog is not the same was she ok before you change her diet?

If she is playing about and is active I doesn't sound as if it's parvo, but more than likely sounds like it could be the change of food.

 

Still I'd get the pup checked up if you're really worried.

Thanks for the replys lads, No she dont seem lethargic she just ragging hell out my leg running about flying up and down the stairs just like a normal puppy very hyper. Her poos where ok when i got her only just notice blood yesterday. She was fed on complete and tinned dog food at first then i changed her on to raw meat mixed with complete food and gave her raw chicken wings on an afternoon.

 

The only thing that is worrying me is that she was delivered by a pet courier so was other dogs in the van. All my dogs which she has been in contact with has had there jabs but i done them myself so is another thing that is worrying me. Going to go to vets tomorrow or at least ring them see what they think.

 

At minute dont think it is parvo because is is eating like a horse and drinking water. But when looked it up on the net the only real answer is parvo

 

Cheers for replys regards Ben

My puppy has done the same, sometimes they eat too much of the wrong thing.

 

Is it only traces or alot of blood?

Nah I don't think the only real answer is Parvo mate to be honest, by the sounds of it I'd bet it was the change of food and bones. I had a similar thing happen with a pup I have, I gave it one of these roasted knuckle bones from the pet shop and his shits were runnier than normal with a bit of blood in it. Just turned out that it was the bone that I had give him.

 

From what I've read, dogs tend to go lethargic and off their food before they start shitting blood when they have Parvo, where as your bitch is the opposite.

 

Still inform the vet mate, as you never know it could be something else that needs the attention.

Ok cheers for the reply bud will ring them in the morning see what they say. Like you say about the bones think it might be that as she has been giving chicken wings she wasnt really managing them so i was taking them away from her when she had had a good chew. But she finished one yesterday and then this started so might be that.

 

hopefully everything will be ok i will let you know how everything progresses

I think theres meant to be loads of blood in the shits with Parvo so I'm told anyway, maybe someone who has had a dog with parvo could clarify that?

 

It sounds like the food to me mate.

Shame that is mate, hope things work out with the dog in time.

 

From Wikipedia -

Untreated cases of CPV2 have a mortality rate approaching 91%. With aggressive therapy, survival rates may approach -95%

Sounds like a touch of colitis to me.

 

My lurcher pup had it for a while after I got him. His shite was coming out of his arse like piss, with either blood or some type of mucous.

 

A short course of tablets and some paste from the vets sorted it out quick enough.

 

Only thing I found, was that if I tried him on any type of dry food, it started up again. He seems fine now though.

Had this problem with my pups when I have changed their food. COuld also be shards of bone cutting their stomachs and intestines causing bits of blood.

have seen this quite a lot when feeding chicken carcases or wings lay off them untill the pups a bit older.a good complete meal has enough protein in it without adding raw meat to it.brown bread, meat and a little veg and your fine.youve got to be on the ball when feeding raw (worms).
