Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Male | 2 years and 5 months old

I asked this question earlier but Dr. was unable to understand so much gonna show it thoroughly.Actually Scooby has blood droplets coming out from his anus. And he doesn't show any other problem or irritation.it is just blood drops coming from anus. Please prescribe any meds if possible.coz he's afraid of vets and runs every time when he hears about vet..

Hello. I’m not sure if you meant to attach a photo, but there is no photo with your post. Blood drops from the anal area can indicate numerous things. He could have an anal sac abscess, a bleeding polyp, hemorrhagic gastroenteritis, an injury, a foreign body. Without an exam, we cannot diagnose this. We also are not legally allowed to prescribe any medication on this site....we are strictly a question and answer service. I’m afraid that this will require a veterinarian examination to determine the cause and to get the proper treatment.
