Something is wrong with Shippo

[fehu1331]

Okay so you knwo that Anya got into some poop and was having diarhea, well that next night Shippo started having Diarhea too so I figured she had shared her bacteria with him via the water bowl, so I put them both on bland, which has worked fine for Anya she is much better. But Shippo is now having bloody very loose stool, with something that looks like gelatin in it. He acts fine other than that but I am starting to get very worried. Has anyone had anything like this to happen???
Unless he starts acting like something is really wrong we are gonna wait til monday to go to the vet. But with the problems he was having preneuter I can't help but worry.

Kota did something similar and it ended up being worms in the gi tract. Time for a vet visit I'm afraid.

I would get him to a vet. Blood in the stool indicates that there may be some sort of GI bleed going on. Best wishes.

Thanks guys!! I am pretty sure its not worms, as they aren't really an issue here. I am hoping that it's just giardia, but it doesn't act like giardia. But we are definitely going monday, just to be on the safe side.

Poor Shippo - hope you guys get in the vets quickly and Shippo gets 'patched' up.

Oddly enough, I learned that bloody stool w/jelly like appearance doesn't necessarily mean something bad. Skyleigh had an extremely stressful situation (very bad dog fight) happen to her, and the next day she had runny, bloody stools twice - so I immediately took her to the vet (thinking she had suffered internal injuries).

The vet let me know that lots of dogs are just like people, and that the bloody stools were more than likely due to the STRESS of the dog fight, and to give her a small amount of metamusal. He expected there to be some residiual blood for a few days, but that the metamusal would firm things up a bit. If things didn't clear up after 4 days, bring her back in.

He was right on the mark.
