My dog has bloody diarrhea, lethargic, anal abscess. Home remedies?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Male | neutered | 7 years and 10 months old | 70 lbs

Fresh blood in diarrhea. Lethargic. Unknown undigested stuff in stool. Frequent urgency to poop. Anal gland abcess, antibiotics didnt help. Anything I can do without going to the vet? We can barely pay rent as it is.

Please contact your local humane society for advice on subsidized clinics and charities which may be able to help you get the care Orion needs. These are very concerning signs and not suitable for home remedies without a diagnosis of the underlying cause
