The reasons why my dog poops blood
Maybe you will feel disgusting when you see the dog's stool, but the dog's stool state can well reflect the dog's current physical health. If you find that your dog has blood in his stool, first make sure that your dog has not eaten any fruits that contain red pigments. Because this kind of fruit can make the dog's stool look bloody. After excluding this factor, if you are sure that your dog’s stool is bloody, please take your dog to the hospital and consult a veterinarian. This article will tell you several reasons why dogs have blood in their stools so that you will not panic when you encounter such a situation.
1. Bacteria or virus infection
Bacterial infections or parvoviruses can attack the dog’s digestive tract and cause blood in the dog’s stool. Be sure to vaccinate healthy dogs for 6-8 weeks to prevent viral infections.
2. Colitis
Colitis is also caused by bacterial virus infection. Don't let the dog eat unclean food, and don't change dog food too frequently, because changing dog food too frequently will easily cause the dog to become unaccustomed to the new dog food, resulting in diarrhea and colitis.
3. Infection of parasites
Please make sure your dog eats clean food. When the dog is playing outdoors, do not drink the water in the river. These behaviors can easily infect dogs with parasites and cause intestinal bleeding.
4. Damage to the rectum
The dog swallowed a stick, bone, or other sharp object by mistake. Finally, when these foreign bodies were discharged through the stool, they scratched the rectum and caused blood in the dog's stool.
Please remember that when you find blood in your dog’s stool, do not take human intestinal medicine to your dog. Most human medicine is toxic to dogs. If you have any questions, please contact your veterinarian in time.
