My puppy ate possum poop. Should I worry about internal bleeding?

Question

Can possum poo cause gastrointestinal bleeding in a puppy. Pet's info: Dog | Maltese | Male | unneutered | 7 months and 13 days old | 10 lbs

Dr. Massimo Orioles, DVM, Cert AVP, MRCVS · Accepted Answer

Potentially yes. Hemorrhagic gastroenteritis could be caused by it. A clinical examination at your local veterinarian is immediately essential to confirm these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately. Antibiotics and possibly further investigations (like abdominal imaging as ultrasound or radiographs) may be needed. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
