Update on Fraggle's progress. Apparently she's had a good night and is very bright and active this morning. She's eaten some food and her blood test have come back without indicating anything really sinister. They are keeping her in until she passes a proper poo - that might be a couple of days.
Fingers crossed........
That sounds good, keeping fingers crossed for youFingers crossed........

I'm just back from her morning walk and can confirm that everything is back to normal. Very happy; it's hard to believe that she can be back to normal so soon after that dramatic blood loss on Friday.
Thanks for asking!
She think's I'm disturbing her post walk snooze!

Somewhat concerned about our dog Fraggle tonight.
Since Tuesday she hasn't being doing a poo very well and has often asked to be let outside to be a little sick. This afternoon she did not eat any of her dinner (which has fresh chicken in it) and frequently wanted to go outside. She was digging in the flowerbeds and appearing to be sick in the hole before trying to cover in the hole.
I then saw her trying to poo again and went out to check what she had done (because I hadn't seen a proper solid poo since Tuesday). I found about two tablespoonfuls of bloody mess. So we rang the vet and ended up taking her in out of hours.
The vet said the blood wasn't good but because she seemed perky, good colour in her gums and obviously not de-hydrated he was prepared to let her home for the night. As he was preparing some paperwork she then dropped a LOT of mucous bloody mess all over the floor of the surgery from her bottom. I would guess about a good quarter to half a pint. Needless to say she is now in vet hospital where she will be monitored and on intravenous fluids.
It looks to be Hemorrhagic Gastroenteritis which is treatable but I must say we are worried sick at the moment. She's only a small dog to have lost that much blood.
We had exactly the same issue with one of ours in March last year.

Ouch!. good to know, much better now, but why so much? Insurance not covering it?
4/5 nights at the Vets. Admission on a Sunday iirc, 2 x ultrasounds etc etc. Insurance paid in the end.It is not a nice thing to see, but essentially it is just a bug. It'll clear up in a few days.
