Hi-
I have been meaning to post this but the past few weeks have been crazy dealing with a sick pup. I am needing some help, advice, suggestions. About three weeks ago, I came home to find pools of straight dark red blood all over my living room. I had no idea which of my four was responsible but I called the vet in hysterics and he said to bring them all and they would figure it out. Before we left, I noticed my 10 year old Lance scooting on the floor so I picked up his tail and found the blood. He spent the day at the vet where they gave him SubQ fluids and injectable GI meds. We had to move him to the emergency vet overnight to go on to an IV and be monitored because his pulse was dramatically low. After that day, he has not had any more bloody stool incidents but he has been losing a half pound every week. Obviously being a little dog, this can't go on. So far, we have done an x-ray, sonogram, every blood test known to mankind and a fecal-all have been normal. The bizarre thing is he is super energetic, eats well and drinks normally. Myself and my vet are at a total loss as to what is going on. He is about to refer me to the specialty clinic here but I thought I would check in here too to see if any one has any ideas or has had a similar experience so I can suggest things we need to be checking for. At a half pound weight loss a week, we are having to act fast before he wastes away.
Thanks in advance for any help!
