As stated, purchased dog (9week old now Chihuahua female puppy) 3/7/05 (6 days ago) from reputable pet store. Had dog checked by vet on 3/10 everything fine. Stool sample normal and negative for parasites. Next shots due 4/5/05 was up to date on shots on 3/10. I believe I am the fault of the problem my puppy has and am hoping it will rectify itself on its one. Puppy weighs 2lbs 8oz. I am used to Boxers never had a small dog. Was given Natures Choice Lamb and rice dry food by pet store. Told vet that dog did not appear to eat very much. He suggested I mix canned with dry. Friday I mixed canned and she ate a little better - and stool firm and normal. Yesterday, not content with amount she ate, I decided on my own to only give hr canned food for the entire day - Natures Choice Lamb, rice and has peas and carrots in with it along with broth. She did not sleep though the night last night so I placed her in bet in kitchen. This am there were many thin stools with drops of blood dotted on the training pads on the floor. She has had several loose stools today and squeezes brigh red blood drops out at the end of movement. Also some blood around the stool in spots but not "in" the stool. Also, some drops of blood on her blanket. Alarmed,I returned to the dry food and mixed a small amount of cooked ground round around the small bite pellets - she ate about 1/2 cup so far and has been drinking water and acting like a frisky normal pup. I have also cleaned her rectum and placed some vasoline on it as that is all I have right now but will purchase anything necessary for her. Do dogs get hemorriods? What can I do? Will this clear up on its own? Help! Eternally greatful. Right now I am embarassed to return to the vet and tell him what I have done, but if you think I should I will. Many Thanks!

Vet question of the day

Add to Cat losing hair with itchy skin
About a month ago my female neutered Siamese mix cat lost all the shine in her coat of long hair, and refuses to come into the house, preferring to remain in the garage. She is shedding her hair and it comes out in big clumps. The skin on her back near her tail is flaking off, like large dandruff, and the hairs have tiny black things on them near the base. This area is very itchy and when it is touched, she goes into an involuntary biting spasm. She also has small scabs on her skin spread all over her body. - Click here to read the answer
