There’s nothing quite like the unconditional love and loyalty a dog brings to its owners. They’re always there to greet us with a wagging tail and a happy face, no matter how our day has gone. So when we notice our beloved pup straining to defecate and it’s tinged with blood, it can be a scary sight.
The medical term for this is melena, which is the presence of digested blood in the stool. It’s usually the result of an underlying medical issue and can have a variety of causes. Some of the most common include:
- Gastrointestinal parasites: Roundworms, hookworms, and whipworms are all parasites that can inhabit the gastrointestinal tract of your dog. These parasites can cause irritation of the intestinal lining and result in bleeding.
- Ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract: If your dog has ingested something they shouldn’t have, it can cause an ulcer to form in the lining of their intestines, which can lead to bleeding.
- Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD): IBD is an umbrella term used to describe a variety of gastrointestinal disorders that can cause inflammation of the stomach and intestines. This inflammation can result in bleeding.
- Dietary indiscretion: If your dog has ingested something that’s too tough to pass through their digestive tract, it can cause irritation of the intestinal lining and lead to bleeding.
- Tumors or foreign bodies: If your dog has a tumor or foreign body in their gastrointestinal tract, it can cause irritation of the lining and lead to bleeding.
- Stress: Stress can cause a variety of issues in dogs, including gastrointestinal problems. If your dog is stressed, it can cause the lining of their intestines to become inflamed, which can lead to bleeding.
If you notice your dog straining to defecate and it’s tinged with blood, you should take them to the vet immediately. They’ll be able to diagnose the underlying cause and provide treatment. Treatment will depend on the underlying cause but may include medications to treat parasites, antibiotics to treat infections, or dietary modifications.
No matter what the underlying cause is, it’s important to get it treated as soon as possible. If left untreated, it can lead to more serious complications, such as anemia or even death. So if you notice your pup straining to defecate and it’s tinged with blood, don’t hesitate to take them to the vet right away.
