MY 4 YEAR OLD ENGLISH BULLDOG IS BLEEDING WHEN SHE POOPS, IT'S NOT ALL THE TIME. SHE'S BEEN TO THE VET 2 TIMES, THEY DID BLOOD WORK, GAVE HER AN ANTIBIOTIC AND IT'S STILL HAPPENING. ANYONE HEARD OF THIS?

Could be worms or maybe an obstruction (?)

If you are not happy in the treatment perscribed by your vet, get a second opinion.

It could be irritable bowel syndrome. I had a dog with similar symptom, and that's how she was diagnosed. Prednisone helped. If she doesn't improve in about 2 days, I would seek a second opinion. Antibiotics for bloody stool wouldn't be my first instinct.

Question, other than the blood, Are the stools normal (ie: firm,loose, discolored, abnormal smell etc)? And is she straining to move her bowels? Were there any xrays done of abdomen for foreign bodies? After all the guys/gals are known to eat things they're not supposed too! I too would maybe seek a second opinion a.s.a.p.!
