Aubie's in heat right now and at first I thought I was crazy in my half-asleep state this morning. When I wiped her after she went out to do her business, there was a bit of blood... but from her bum. Well, she just went out a short time ago, and when she came in, I noticed a streak of blood dribbled down her bum from where she'd pottied and wiped quite a bit from under her tail.
I went to inspect her business outside, and her first poop pile was mushy and it wasn't bloody until the end of her poo. She also had went a little in another area and it was all bloody poo. It's quite a bit of blood, so it is very alarming! She's acting normally, not in any distress when going, and there's no problem unless she's going. It's bright red, fresh blood, not dark like Aubrey's was, so I know it's coming from her lower intestine/rectum area. She hasn't had a lot of diarrhea recently or anything.
As long as she's acting normally and not in distress, I'm going to take her to her regular vet in the morning (our emergency vet here is horrible). What could this be? Any suggestions? Should I go ahead and start a bland diet?
Poor thing... in heat and an upset bum!
