The bleeding has slowed down, but she is not acting her normal self. It is after hours for the vet and I live in the middle of nowhere.My rat terrier mix came in from outside and her rectum was bleeding, what could have caused this?
have you give her any bones to eat? or has she been chewing any sticks etc, anything that can splinter and isn't digested properly. if so it may be that she hasn't been able to pass it easily and it cut her. this happens more often if they have been eating longish grass that gets tangled sometimes and traps the object in a funny position.
my staff had this problem once or twice, i rang the vet and they told me to look at her poo an see if it had anything in it what could have caused a cut or if my dog kept wiping its bum on the floor repeatedly (this could mean there's still something inside).
ring the vet and ask what they think.
hope your dogs well soon.My rat terrier mix came in from outside and her rectum was bleeding, what could have caused this?
Dogs need to have the anal sacs emptied by a professional from time to time. If not done, they can rupture. If your dog has been scooting it's rear on the floor or grass, and they were overdue on being emptied, it could have caused them to rupture. You need to see a vet asap.
Doesn't sound good,could be worms, hemorrhoids, or far worse cancer. Time to go to the vet.
is there another dog around???
Maybe if she wasn't having normal bowel movements she could have been constipated and maybe while relieving herself she tore some rectal tissues which might cause heavy bleeding I would think. It's an idea.
Does your dog have a fever? If so, guess what you get to do tonight. Next thing is are you sure it's coming out of her rectum? Female dogs have more in that area to be concerned with. Blot a paper towel square back there and see for sure where it's coming from.
could ahve been a big crap, my girl dog has had that happen to her, but it could be something serious, go to a vet
