Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | 10 months and 26 days old
Hi! We thank Dr. Laura Johnson for answering my question and here is my repost for our dog's problem. The picture of his testes is included here but it is hard for us to take a clearer picture because his legs are shaking and he is continuously crying. Gino is still eating and drinking but tonight, he lost his appetite. There is no blood in his urine but recently, he poops blood. But now, his poop is okay. What should we give him? He can't even sleep at night. Thank you for your answer!

Hi! Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Thanks for the pictures! Gino's testicles look normal to me. I don't see any evidence of skin disease. I don't think he is shaking because of his testicles or penis. I am worried about him with the constant shaking and now not eating and bloody diarrhea. Causes of bloody diarrhea are: intestinal parasites, viral or bacterial infections, toxin ingestion, metabolic conditions like liver/kidney disease or Addison's disease, pancreatitis, dietary indiscretion, food allergy/intolerance. You can start a bland diet of boiled chicken or hamburger with rice. Feed 1 cup per 20 lbs per day until 2 days of normal stool. Gino sounds like he is significantly painful: he could have joint disease, Lyme disease, panosteitis or other growing disease. He REALLY needs to see a Vet at least for an exam. You can ask for a financial estimate before agreeing to tests and medications. With out examining him myself I can't tell you exactly what is wrong. I hope this helps and I wish Gino the best~!
