Cause of dog anal bleeding 1

Dog anal bleeding may be due to constipation. During defecation, the anal sphincter muscle contracts excessively, causing the anal peripheral membrane to tear, leading to blood in the stool. It may also be caused by swallowing sharp objects, such as glass, during a food fight, which leads to intestinal injuries and bloody stools. Another possibility is not timely deworming, resulting in excessive intestinal parasites, which can cause intestinal bleeding.

There are many reasons for dog anal bleeding, such as bacterial infection of the intestine, infectious gastroenteritis, parvovirus, or foreign objects blocking the intestine, hemorrhagic gastroenteritis, or dogs swallowing sharp objects that scratch the intestine.

What to eat for dog anal bleeding

Taking medication may not be very effective for dog anal bleeding. If the bleeding is caused by acute gastroenteritis, taking antibiotics such as amoxicillin may have some effect.

For bleeding caused by infectious diseases, it is recommended to take the dog to the hospital for antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and hemostatic treatment.
