Thanks for looking out for Bailey! We just got back from the emergency vet as this morning Bailey pooed some dark red blood with his poo
This has never happened to him even when he had worms and giardia when he was little. The emergency vet gave him a rectal exam (which he hated, who wouldn't!) and yelped at that and also when she felt around with his tummy, he also yelped. She wasn't that informative and I had to keep on pushing her for what she thought it was, but definitely his stomach was sore. Anyways, antibiotics were prescribed and we think Bailey's whimpering and not doing the stairs or jumping on the furniture may be from his tummy hurting him and not a pulled muscle or back problem. She sent off the bloodwork and a stool sample and we will see what it might be in a day. Of course after we got home and were down a few hundred dollars, Bailey was acting brighter and more like himself
. He LOVED the chicken and rice dinner...question: what's the ratio of chicken to rice and how much do you usually feed per meal? I was feeding probably 2/3rds chicken and 1/3rd rice and eyeballed the amount to be close to what he usually gets of his other food. Is that about right?
