Pet's info: Dog | French Bulldog | Female | spayed | 33 lbs
Hello, I have 3 year old female French bulldog she ate from the cat litter Teñwo weeks ago she pooped with some blood, had nausea and vomited pink saliva. I took her to the vet for three days and he gave her shots, she seemed normal after that. Today she woke up with tummy noises and did poop again with some strikes of blood. I don't know what to do or what could be causing this

Streaks of blood in the poop can be due to passing hard stool that irritates the rectum, parasites, bloody anal discharge, irritable bowel disease or a rectal mass. To start I would check a fecal sample for parasites. Then if it continues I would have your veterinarian express Sushi's anal sacs, and perhaps do a rectal palpation to check for polyps or a tumor. If this is due to stress from irritable bowel symdrome they can prescribe medication. Dogs and cats have blood in their poop fairly regularly and usually it's nothing serious if they are otherwise normal. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Sushi.
