I think my dog is dying. She’s 12 years old and we’ve been having the same problem with her for a month. She’s been outside this morning pooping for an hour and it has blood in it. We’ve taken her to the vet but they just keep giving her medicine that’s not helping and all these vet visits are costing a lot of money each time she goes. I don’t know what else to do. She cries all the time to go outside and has accidents in the house.

@ss3mom, I’m not sure my husband took her to the vet. She’s been on them twice now.

@courtney017, huh? I wonder why she’s on that? Did she have bloodwork done?

Well 12 is an old age for a lab. Arthritis is pretty common at the age as well. I’ve first take her to the vet and maybe bring along a stool sample. I know u said it’s getting expensive but at least have her checked out. If u want they could do some blood work on her to check her liver/kidney and other organs ya know? Is she drinking water? Can u look at her gums? What color are they? Are they a bright red/pink color? Or are they pale pink? Also do her gums feel tacky/dry? Or are they moist? Is she on meds for arthritis? If so did she just start them?

@courtney017, so this is an antibiotic and the other is steroid. The antibiotic could be causing the loose stools

Oh what kind of dog is she? What breed? The blood in the stool was it bright red or like a darker red? Is she straining to poop? Is she eating/drinking/urinating normal? Any medical history you’re aware of?

Are you taking her to the same vet? Or have you gotten multiple opinions?

I can't take it anymore! Haley (yes my 1mth old and no I wasn't able to go through this "joy" of nursing my older daughter, Molly) has been screaming non stop for 6hrs! All she wants to do is eat and I can't have her attached to me all day, everyday! She has wanted to eat every hr on the hr for the past 3hrs! I put her in her room so I don't scream at her but I just can't take it!

lillyb Good job giving ur self a break we all need them. See if maybe she will nurse
delete____ I have to commend you for stepping away, momma!! Everyone reacts to a child screaming differently and
imisssleep123456789 Ugh I remember those days. With both kids I decided to always top them off with formula.

Has anyone used this? We’ve been buying the pills directly from our vet but was thinking about trying this.

madhatter I wouldn't. Seems like an off brand Bravecto! I would rather pay the $50 per pill than
cprater0033 I agree with scream. My mil and fil bought one of the chew tablets from the vets
mnturdburgler Do NOT use this our dogs lost fur where it was put on.
