Leyka&Diva Posted September 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 vet said it looks like a bowel infection so she is on antibiotics and see how if she gets worse to go straight back so i am fostering her for a few days as im home all day and can keep an eye on her xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leyka&Diva Posted September 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 Just got home vets have kept her in go do an ultra sound take bloods give her a jab to stop her being sick and to give her fluids and we have to collect her at 8 am in the morning and take her to our vets xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elyse Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 I would try another vet. With her stools being black, as well as red blood in the stool...that's a bad sign. Black poo, in both humans and dogs, usually indicates internal bleeding. Keep us updated... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
