Highlandladdie Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Hi all My new little cocker is passing a clear mucus, some with tiny flecks of blood after passing good poops of suitable consistency. She appears to be straining quite hard at times. She is still VERY lively and is eating and drinking as normal. We have only had her a week and she is now 8 weeks old. Phoned the vet and have arranged an appointment for later today. I think the vet suspects colitis? Has anyone any ideas or experience of this?

Dirty Harry Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 I'm no expert and I'm sure the vet will sort it but my experience says at that age they are very sensitive to change and it might be new diet, home or owners that's upset her system a bit. My GWP has had colitis a few times and the vet gave him some squirt on stuff for his food that is supposed to sort the gut out. Usually works quite quick.

Highlandladdie Posted July 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Thank for your reply. It's good to hear that the vet should be able to sort it out. Will post up what the diagnosis is later once we have been to the vets. Regards Highlandladdie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highlandladdie Posted July 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Well we have been down to the vet and all appears well apart from the pups upset tum. She was prescribed I presume what you wer on about, some probiotics. Kind of like actimel or benicol ie good bacteria for the gut and since it was time to worm her again. I got some wormer too. Hopefully in a few days after her treatment and some bland food she will be back to normal Highlandladdie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
