My dog is throwing up blood as well as pooping it. This only started happening a week ago and has only happened twice within a week apart. She has a really weak stomach and throws up alot but never blood. She is an inside dog and only eats dog food the same as always. I dont want to take her to the vet because everytime I do that it costs a ton of money and last time I mentioned it they said it was just a weak stomach and they would put her on meds, I really dont want her on any meds for the rest of her life She is only 7 years of age and healthy otherwise. Is there any thing I can do or should I just break down and take her to the vet because it has been blood????

Maybe you could try going to a different vet to avoid the same diagnosis as the last time. If they do recommend drugs, get them! Her health should be top priority. [ keolablue's advice column | Ask keolablue A Question ]

Your dog could be suffering Kidney problems, and could have diabetes. This kind of blood problem is extremely serious. And if you care for your dog enough you WILL take bring it to a qualified vetinary ventre.
Most dogs that are experiencing these syptoms have diabetes. Please dont let your dog suffer anymore.

Your dog's situation is very serious. No matter the hassle, cost, etc. you NEED to take your dog to the vet. If she needs medicine, you need to provide that for her. Anytime a pet excretes blood is a sign that you should take it to a doctor. [ uisforukelele's advice column | Ask uisforukelele A Question ]
orphans answered Friday February 22 2008, 11:33 pm: i am telling you, honestly, that is very very serious...i would just call the vet immediately if you are worried about the money...but they will mostlikely suggest you bring the dog in.
^all of the websites if found are really good, and packed with info...please look at all of them and i think that the last one will be most affective being the position you are in.
GoOd LuCk!!!
ps
i am going to also refer you to the columnist on this site: selectopaque she is a veternarian and knows about things like this... it sounds like she could give you ideas. [ orphans's advice column | Ask orphans A Question ]
