now that was the first decent reply ive recieved on this one.

[SomethingClever]

Did he/she eat something he wasn't supposed to?

I think an isolated incident of a little blood in your dog's poop isn't necessarily cause for concern. But if it happens a couple times, or it's really pretty bloody, get him to a vet.

[vulturesrow]

Kick him in the stomach again and see if that helps.

Try giving your dog away to people who will actually give a damn about it.

[mmbt0ne]

What are we talking about here? Is it a little extra red in the solid sh[/i]it , or is it more like a firehose of sh[/b]it-blood?

[astroglide]

blood in stool = trip to vet, do not pass go or collect $200 on this one. intestinal obstructions from eating something impassable are fairly common and need to be addressed.

I should have been able to tell that was a joke. I got riled up after the first couple of responses suggested kicking the dog to the curb. I'm glad she is being taken to the vet.

[Lazymeatball]

Wow, it's pretty obvious no one was being serious in this thread. Jokes about abandoning dogs over minor medical problems, and then replacing it with a new dog are funny. Obviously anyone who actually did do that doesn't deserve to own a dog. That's why the joke is funny, because it's obviously wrong.

[liquidboss]

I'm fine with compassion for living things, but my compassion fails when there are huge vet bills involved. I remember when my last dog was hit by a car a few years ago. Now I loved that dog, but when the vet told me it would cost hundreds for surgery and the medication after, compared with 50 to put him to sleep, my choice was easy. Sorry if that makes me cold hearted, but dogs really are a dime a dozen.

I do hope your dog is fine and you don't have to make that kind of decision...

[vetman81]

How old is your dog? There are a number of things that could be wrong, but if it is a young dog, it is likely an intestinal parasite. That will just take a few treatments. Depending on which parasite, it could take several, but most are relatively cheap. When you take the dog in, try and take a stool sample.

An obstruction is not likely, as the dog would be vomiting rather than shitting. If it is an old dog, it could still be a parasite, but there are other things that have to be addressed as well. HTH.

[Lazymeatball]

Upon reading liquidbosses second response, I totally agree with you Homer, he is a piece of sh[/b]it. I thought he was joking the first time.

Seriously, if you are not prepared to pay hundreds of dollars on medical bills for your dog, don't get a dog. Hundreds of dollars (assumed to mean anything under $1000) is relatively cheap compared to what some people spend on their animals. I think you have to factor in what the expected quality of life after treatment will be for the animal to see if it's worth it. If I were God I would make anyone who wanted to get a dog have to put down a security deposit of $1000. This would stop cheap fuc[/b]ks like liquidboss from just going out and getting a puppy (they're are a dime a dozen afterall) just because they think they're cute but who refuse to own up to the fact that they are responsible for the well being of another living thing.

Why does $1,000 get to be the arbitrary amount a dog is worth? Why noth $100? Or $500? Or $1,000,000? And I'm being serious now.

[Lazymeatball]

Dude, the amount isn't what's important here, it's arbitrary. If I was God, I would be able to research stuff like the average cost of medical bills for the most common problems that return a good quality of life to patients. If I was God I'd have a bunch of nerds who work for big HMO's making all sorts of cost analysis decisions come up with a more accurate number, as it is, $1000 gives you a rough idea of what my security deposit concept is.

So you're guessing that $1,000 is like an average for a big vet bill and using that? That could sort of make sense. Although, I hate the idea of anyone mandating anything like deposits for animal ownership. Doesn't that sound a bit tyrranous? And where do all the dogs go when there's no one that can afford a $1,000 deposit? They just run loose? I guess we put them all to sleep? And i guess poor kids shouldn't be able to own dogs? I don't think I wanna live in a world where any kid can't have a dog. /images/graemlins/frown.gif

I kinda agree with your idea that people should take care of their animals. It's a moral obligation and there's a definite sense of responsibility attached to animal ownership. But I don't like the idea of someone like Homer telling everyone what the animal should or shouldn't be worth to them.

[wacki]

Jake, I like you but have some compassion.

Greenthumb, you need to go to a vet. It could be anything from an object the dog swallowed, a parasite like whipworms, hookworms, roundworms, etc..., a viral infection like parvo, colon cancer, anything!!!!!!!

Just get the dogs butt to the vet. No pun intended.

[Lazymeatball]

Jakethebake, back to the security deposit thing. I agree that the concept of a mandatory deposit conflicts with most of my preferences for living in a non-beaurocratic free society. That's why I'm not trying to get a law passed, it's just a hypothetical. I guess the point is that people should take the cost of vet bills into account when getting a dog. If people budgeted for it, even relatively poor people can afford a dog. Most relatively poor people in this country can still afford cable, so it shouldn't be so hard to set aside a little something each month just in case.

I was joking about abandoning the dog at the first sign of medical problems. I was not joking about putting a dog to sleep when it requires a lot of money to keep it alive and healthy.

I would say lighten up, but... no, in fact I will.

If you post something serious with a bit of levity in a forum full of jokers, dont' expect a lot of serious replies. The solution (take it to the vet) was self-evident, so there wasn't really a need for the 'take your dog to the vet' replies.

I didn't detect any seriousness in any of the posts, whether regarding 'kick it in the stomach again' or 'time to get a new dog!' In all seriousness, this sort of disregard for life or conventions or morality or whatever is pretty common in almost all comedy (stand up springs immediately to mind), so I don't have too much sympathy for anyone who takes this stuff seriously. I mean that's pretty much what the wilder forums are like, a bunch of aspiring 'edgy' comedians.

So as much as I hate to be one of those guys who says to lighten up or leave, I have a certain amount of that feeling here.

Now I can see the confusion. However, I don't think it's a good idea to get pissed just because you assume you know what they're talking about from not even a full sentence of text.

Have you priced vet bills lately. My wife is a Vet Assistant and what some people pay is just insane. They'll pay bills that are literally thousands of dollars for cancer surgery for 15 year-old dogs. Or there's hip- and knee-replacements. It's nuts. The point is that you can't budget for that. I don't think I could pay it. Frankly this is a question I've debated with myself from time-to-time. I do love my dog. But just how much would be too much? I dunno.
