Well, another Tink medical problem has arose and this ones probably serious...She has bloody diarrhea.:( She seems fine though...Im going to give her some pedialyte and see if that helps, but its not much blood, and u can barely tell its there, but still I'm worried...Any advice would be appreciated, I'm going to go force some pedialyte in her...
*worried*

From what I've learned at work is that a tiny amount of blood in the stool, is usually caused by stress. If its a large amount of blood, its usually caused by a worm that wraps around the intestein & causes it to bleed a lot.
So take her to the vet to rule out the evil worm or any other problem she may have.
At the moment, it probably is stress...i hope...we cant take her to the vet till Friday, cus my mom cant afford a $200 vet bill at the moment...Shes pooping like crazy...would that have anything to do with it? She poops like 2x every hour!Quote:

Not coughing is a good thing.
No food switching is good.
Not eating & drinking is bad.
hmmm
Did she get any people food yesterday?? or early this morning??
Did she do anything stressful yesterday or this morning??
Was anyone fighting or yelling yesterday or this morning??
Did anyone scold her yesterday or this morning??
Is she going through any training that shes not liking??
If she has diarrhea for a long time then she can get dehydrated... keep a good eye on her and try to make her drink water. I think that not the diarrhea but dehydration could be the big problem actually with as little as she is if she won't eat or drink and pooping as much as you say she is she could get dehydrated VERY fast. Try some gatorade?
She hasnt ever ate a drop of people foodQuote:

Diarrhea every now and then is almost normal (Charlie actually had explosive diarrhea three weeks ago from stress and his butt was bleeding) but if it doesn't go away then there could be a bigger problem. Good luck and I'll have her in my thoughts in hopes she gets better!
she has an appointment Tuesday for her 3rd set of shots, but we may have to change it to friday...thanks jessika :)Quote:
