My 8 year old DSH, Maree, has been gradually losing weight over the last few weeks, but last night I caught her pooping bloody stool under our Christmas tree. I found another bloody poop on the other side of the tree this morning.
Our appointment didn't go as well as I had hoped. All the talk about fecal and blood work was scrapped as soon as my vet developed the xray. Maree has multiple tumors in both lungs and a larger tumor in her intestine. My vet sent me home with prednisone to last a month, a 2 week round of metronidazole to soothe her irritated bowels, and “the end of life talk†about when to bring her back.
<heavy sigh>
