My dachshund has bloody vomit and diarrhea. What's the cause?

The main two things i would suspect is Tick fever caused by a bacterial called Erlichia (it is treated with an antibiotic called doxycycline). it could also be an autoimmune hemolytic crisis, this will need to be treated with steroids.

Hi and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Sorry to hear about Daisy. Contact your local rescue groups, humane societies, low-cost clinics in your area and seek help. Persistent vomiting, bloody diarrhea and lack of appetite are emergent clinic signs due to fluid/electrolyte losses. This leads to dehydration, weakness, and further downward deterioration unless the vomiting stops and the appetite returns. I would advise taking Daisy to your vet as soon as possible to have her evaluated. Many causes are possible including intestinal parasites, dietary indiscretion (eating things dogs aren't supposed to), other dietary problems, gastrointestinal inflammation/infection from various sources, toxin exposure, foreign body ingestion, GI ulceration, side effects from drugs or products used, or even problems outside of the gut including pancreatitis, liver/kidney problems, among many others. Your vet can get a detailed history and perform a thorough exam. Once done, a diagnostic plan and preliminary treatment plan can be started. Most likely a minimum database of fecal/blood/urine tests and some x-rays will be advised. Treatment will be focused on the cause but early treatment could include fluids/electrolytes, anti-nausea/vomiting medicines, acid blockers, etc. Good luck with Daisy.

Poor Dixie. She could have a severe GI illness, may have eaten something rotten, could have a foreign body, or she could have a pyometra. Definitely have her seen by a vet first thing in the morning.

These results do not test for infectious agents but do indicate an elevated white blood count which may be due to infection as well as damage to kidneys and liver. There are many infections which can cause similar results and you should monitor your other dog closely and ensure she is up to date with parasite prevention (especially tick prevention) and her vaccines as a general precaution, A blood test to rule out any eary indicators of disease may also be considered if you are worried

That does sound concerning. It is possible that she is having another flare up of her previous ulcers. Other causes for diarrhea and vomiting with blood in it include Addison's disease, intestinal parasites, tick-borne diseases, IMHA, IBD, intestinal cancer, among many others. I would recommend that Gubbu get checked out by a vet as soon as possible. After physical examination and a review of her medical history, the vet may recommend bloodwork to check for anemia and other relevant things. They may also recommend an abdominal ultrasound, which will help use get a picture of what her digestive tract is doing and looks like.

It sounds as Dahlia is suffering from a gastrointestinal condition, possibly an infection. it could also be due to ingestion of a foreign body material. i would recommend taking her to the vet the first chance you get, she will need to be checked first, if the vet thinks it's a simple gastrointestinal infection she will need an antibiotic course and a special food for a few days in order to get better.

I would recommend taking Roxy to the vet today. Schnauzers are a breed prone to developing Addison's disease, which could be life-threatening if left untreated. Another possible cause could be hemorrhagic gastroenteritis, which can also cause death. There are a few other causes, including pancreatitis and diabetes, and routine blood work should be able to determine if this may be the case. https://www.petcoach.co/article/addison-s-disease-hypoadrenocorticism-in-dogs/ https://www.petcoach.co/dog/condition/hemorrhagic-gastroenteritis/
