I'm taking my dog to the vet tomorrow I'm just worried and would like to know if anyone has any ideas.
In late November/early December ddog started with diarrhoea. It coincided with my DH decline in health and the need for nurses to become involved in his care (he passed December 10th). As my husband was so ill I was afraid of being too far away from him and as ddog was generally fine in herself I didn't take her to the vet. After s couple of weeks she was back to normal.
She only went to the toilet a normal amount of times a day (2-3) it's just that when she went it was loose, full of mucus (it glooped together when you picked it up) and after a while had blood in it. She got better and when I took her to vets in January I told the vet and she checked her out and recommended chicken and rice as soon as she ever gets diarrhoea.
Ddog has also suffered with acid on and off but regular meals have meant she's only needed medication once. Again when DH was diagnosed as terminal and after the meds she was fine again. On Thursday she had a normal bowel movement in the morning and then around 4.30pm she had a formed but very loose one. She hadn't eaten by that point so I removed her breakfast and as I only had frozen chicken gave her rice and egg white for tea. She started with acid that night and was very restless and even though she had diarrhoea I had to feed her biscuit treats through the night for her to settle. She had diarrhoea again 4.30am on Friday morning and has been on chicken and rice since then. She had a mostly normal bowel movement yesterday (the end was loose) and then another loose one a few hours later. She had a loose movement 3.30am this morning, another one around 10am and a small amount on a walk around 3pm. She's a little more lethargic than usual but still wanting to play and walk and begging for chicken.
I'm just worried in case it's something serious . Sorry for such a long post.
