Hi, and thanks for your question. These signs could be compatible with an inflammation infection of the gastrointestinal system and surrounding organs (like pancreas and liver). A clinical examination at your local veterinarian is immediately essential to confirm these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately. Antibiotics and possibly further investigations (like abdominal imaging as ultrasound or radiographs) may be needed. Hope this answer was helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.

I'm concerned about her as well, and think she needs further testing like x-rays or an abdominal ultrasound. It could be something is going on that isn't showing up on blood work, like a tumor. I'd take her into another vet for a second opinion.

Bloody, jelly-like poop along with loss of appetite and sometimes vomiting is often seen with a problem called HGE (hemorrhagic gastroenteritis) - this is a very serious GI problem that requires hospitalization for IV fluids and supportive care. Other possible causes could include intestinal parasites like whipworms or hookworms, a severe systemic illness like liver or kidney failure, or a bleeding disorder of some kind. I would recommend having Cheeky examined by a vet right away - he/she can do blood work or other testing if needed to help determine the problem and get her started on appropriate treatment.

These signs may be compatible with colitis which is an inflammation of the last part of the intestine, very often dietary related. I would suggest to start feeding with a bland diet based on boiled chicken and rice in small portion every 6 hours for the following 48hours. Then gradually reintroduce the normal diet over 5 days. I would definitively recommend a veterinary check up if the signs persist or you notice diarrhoea, vomiting, lethargy or inappetence.

Please find the time to give us a feedback about the consultation as that will be used to improve our service.
