Petechia: Petechia are tiny, red or purple spots on the skin or gums which indicate a bleed under the surface. Refer to the following section on what the different colors of dog poop looks like and what they likely mean. Although in most cases it can pass the foreign object out without issue, what’s worrying are those that can’t.

Your dog is a herding breed (Sheltie, Australian Shepherd, Collie, etc.). Many herding breed dogs carry a mutant form of the ABCB1 -1 Δ gene that significantly limits their ability to break down certain drugs. If you find that rice water isn’t your dog’s thing, you can try clear, unflavored Pedialyte. Personally, I think the stuff tastes terrible and would prefer the rice water! I do not recommend Gatorade because it is high in sugar, and that can cause further intestinal inflammation. There are electrolyte solutions made specifically for pets, as well. After FastingConsistency is closely connected to diet and can tell a lot about your dog's overall health. When it comes to evaluating consistency, some veterinarians use a numerical system to score the consistency of a pet’s stool. The fecal scoring system assigns a value to the stool from 1 to 7, where 1 represents very hard pellets and 7 is a puddle. Attention-Seeking: Sometimes, dogs learn that if they engage in certain behaviors (like eating strange items), they get attention from their owners, even if it’s negative attention. f) Has your dog been around multiple other pets — including in your own home — and are those pets similarly affected? If your dog has brown poop with red streaks or a clearly red dog poop color, internal bleeding might be happening somewhere along Fido's large intestine.

Inducing vomiting or trying to remove the obstruction with a tweezer (or anything similar) can be risky and result in further damage, so don’t try it! The vomit is typically clear, brown, or yellow. What Should You Do If There Is Blood in Your Dog’s Poop? Under normal circumstances, dog stool is a chocolate-brown color. During normal digestion, the gallbladder releases bile to aid in the breakdown of food. Bilirubin is a pigment in bile that affects stool color. The stool may have some minor deviations in color due to diet, hydration, or dyes, but you shouldn’t see substantial changes. Abnormal color patterns that should catch your eye include:Many a time, dog parents get one of those rope toys for their pets thinking that it would make a fun game of tug-of-war. Needless to say, small dogs have much smaller intestinal tracts and will be affected by what they swallow more so than bigger dogs. Another possible cause of red or red-streaked poop is Anal gland issues, where the impacted or infected anal sacs may lead to bleeding and discoloration of stool.
