Why is my dog coughing blood, pooping blood, and acting lethargic?

Coughing up blood is a medical emergency and must be assessed by a vet immediately. Traumatic wounds to the throat, lungworm and other respiratory conditions can all cause similar signs and can be life threatening if not caught in time. It is likely sedation and xrays will be required if nothing is identified on an oral exam

Thanks for visiting Boop by Petco. This sounds serious enough that he needs to be seen by your veterinarian right away. He could have a number of things causing this including parvovirus (if he isn't fully vaccinated), a foreign body obstruction, or just a severe case of colitis associated with the new food that you introduced. Poor guy. I would recommend taking him in today if possible and getting this treated quickly. Best case scenario is that he has a severe case of colitis and a short course of antibiotics and probiotics, along with a bland diet is enough to get him well again. Best wishes with your pet Winston. I hope he feels better soon. Take care.

Hi there and thank you for using Boop by Petco to address your concern. With blood in the urine, I would certainly recommend having her examined by a veterinarian so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. If she has a urinary tract infection, she should have this treated early on so that the infection does not spread to her kidneys. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.

She is cute! If she is wheezing really bad then it would be best to have her examined by a vet to determine the cause. Your vet can take an xray to evaluate her heart and lungs. She may need an antibiotic, anti-inflammatory, and/or a bronchodilator to help with her breathing. Your vet can also prescribe medications to help with the vomiting and diarrhea.

It definitely sounds like Midnight should be seen by a veterinarian sometime soon. As long as he isn't in overt respiratory distress, this doesn't have to be tonight. I would plan on getting him there early this week, however. Based on all the clinical signs you have described, I would suspect there is either some sort of primary respiratory disease such as an infection or cancerous process occurring, or a cardiac condition. Heartworm certainly can not be ruled out as a possibility either. All of the above mentioned conditions can be mostly ruled in or out via a chest x ray. Blood work to go along with this will be able to determine if Heart worm is or is not probable. I hope you are able to figure out what is happening with Midnight.

Blood can be found in stool from inflammation in the colon that can happen with episodes of diarrhea. There are several possible causes of diarrhea including food intolerance, parasites, viral or bacterial infection, and stress. If diarrhea continues, I recommend taking a sample of the stool to your veterinarian to have them check for parasites. For the next day or two, you can try feeding white rice and boiled chicken to see if this helps to resolve the diarrhea. A probiotic or yogurt can add some healthy bacteria back to the system. If the diarrhea becomes severe or you are seeing a lot more blood, then emergency treatment may be necessary. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

Oh my. The red blood is very concerning. There could be some type of trauma in her throat or she could have blood coming up from her airway. A bleeding disorder, tracheal injury, canine influenza, rat poison or even pneumonia are all possible causes for this. At any rate Penny needs to see a vet right away for a full examination, oral exam and listen to her lungs. I would take her in as soon as possible for an exam and treatment (likely antibiotics to start). Best of luck with your pet Penny and I hope she is able to make a full and speedy recovery. Take care.

This is a very real concern and you should have him assessed by a vet urgently. Infection, injury, heart and lung disease, parasites, clotting issues and foreign bodies could all be at play. A full physical and possibly chest xrays are recommended immediately

Thanks for using Boop by Petco! Even though this could be due to her diet, the fact that she has been on it for over a month, makes it less likely. This can be due to conditions such as colitis, gastroenteritis, dietary indiscretion, intestinal parasites, among other possibilities. I recommend that you have Maggie evaluated by your veterinarian soon today or tomorrow for further assessment and treatment. They would be able to check for these possibilities and at the very least start her on medications which would be based on findings. Likely diagnostics include a fecal examination and abdominal imaging. Good luck and have a great day!

Poor Luna! She could have an infection (parvo, etc) or a parasite. Since she has bloody stool and is lethargic, she should be examined by a vet to determine the cause and treat. Your vet can test a stool sample to help diagnose and then prescribe medications to treat the problem. She might also need some fluids to prevent dehydration. Hope she gets better soon!
