Blood in Pet Stools

Blood in a pet's stool causes great anxiety for most of us pet lovers no matter what the species. If the little one can't tell you that it hurts or doesn't hurt, most of us assume that the blood in its stool indicates your pet is suffering from something serious.
One of the first things one can do is to make sure your pet is not being "eaten alive" by worms including microscopic worms and one- celled parasites called protozoa.
Another is to make sure that your pet is not suffering from cancer of the intestines or stomach. Your Vet would certainly be able to help in this regard.
Assuming that the above has been tended to and your pet still is suffering from blood in its stool, then our next thought is that this could be a result of problems in the digestive system.
For instance, irritable bowel syndrome can cause blood in the stool because the bowels are so irritated that the walls shed some blood into the feces as it passes by and out. Irritable bowel syndrome is quite painful in people, so it stands to reason that it is painful for a little pet too.
It is possible that the feces is so dry and hard that it is causing fissures and cuts in the anal area as it is exiting the body.
All of the above conditions are relatively easy to fix although it does take some time.
First we would make sure the digestive system is free of parasites using both Parastem for the microscopic and protozoa parasites and Worm-Out for the larger more visible parasites.
Second, we would administer on a daily basis probiotics to help get and keep the digestive system in good working order. Many times the use of antibiotics even several months ago without restoring the essential bacteria that was destroyed can and will cause IBS.
For this purpose we would use ProBac Adult on a daily basis either in the food or water or even both for a period of time.
Third, for difficult bowel movements, we would advise increasing the fiber content of your pet's food. At the same time we would offer the pet more fluids in the form of juices that it likes in order to make the feces softer. To help in this endeavor, we have a remedy called Digestive/Bowel Supplement that can be used for any species of animal to aid in adding fiber to a pet's diet. It consists of a variety of stone ground herbs that most pets love.
If your pet is passing blood and you and your Vet have ruled out cancer and parasites, then give us a call.
We have helped hundreds of pets with this disagreeable disorder and we are certain we can help yours. |
