Poop Question...

**elizabethann** · 12-13-2006, 05:33 PM

I got home tonight to find that Fenway had an accident. He's has accident's in the past. The last time it was right on my bed & it went through the sheets and to the mattress (I actually got a new mattress because of it - and a waterproof mattress pad).

Anyhow, I went to pick it up (it's runny & it doesn't smell like normal poop).

Two questions:

1. Why doesn't it smell like normal poop? If it's not poop, what is it - bile?
2. When I went to pick it up, it stained my kitchen floor - blue! Why do you think it stained the floor & why blue? What could be in it? The "poop" wasn't blue.

Thanks for helping me with these somewhat strange questions. But it's really bothering me.

Now- I would call the vet. ..

Some linoleum will turn blue when it gets moist.

What does it smell like? Is their blood in it?

I would keep an eye on him, I personally don't think you need to rush him to the vet tonight. How is he acting? Is he eating and drinking?

Honey- at this point I think you need to call the vet. It is the holidays, and maybe the dog ate something not approved .. I am sorry, but I can not see the dog, and it sounds like a medical situation or potentially one. Just give them a call..

There is no blood in it and he is acting normal (also, it sort of smells like poop now that I threw it in the garbage - now my garbage stinks really bad). I took him for a short walk and he went hunting for mice like he normally does. Then he ate his supper & some of the cats supper like he normally does. He ate a snack and now he's chewing on his "chewie" (a cow hoof) like he normally does.

He has these accidents once in awhile (like every 3 months or something).

I'm wondering about the dog food he had today. It's Merrick (which he normally has) but it's catfish. I don't normally buy the catfish can. Maybe he is allergic to catfish.

I will watch him tonight. The vet isn't opened until tomorrow morning. My sister is dog sitting him tomorrow so I will have her watch him closely.

The blue floor kind of freaked me out. Sounds like I have a permanent stain to help me remember this incendent.

Thanks for answering my questions everybody.

I'll keep you posted on his "issue".

Yeah my casey has a sensitive tummy...when I change food I have to do it very gradually. Even though its the same brand it its a different type I am sure that is what is going on. Glad he is doing good.
