Hi! This is duzđ€
Â
Â
Just as humans can guess their health status in the form of defecation, dogs can also find out their health status through defecation.
Healthy dogs poop long and brown.
Today, we will have a time to learn about the health status of the dog that can be easily checked through the dog's bowel movements. đ
Â
Â
ăDark brown bowel movementsă
If the dog's bowel movements are darker brown than usual and smell iron, bleeding in the small intestine can be the cause.
Blood bleeding from the small intestine turns brown when it meets digestive enzymes.
This makes the stool look dark brown đą
Â
Â
Â
ăAn orange bowel movementă
If your dog saw an orange stool, it may have a liver or gallbladder disease đ°
The bile is made in the liver and stored in the gallbladder before being secreted into the digestive system.
This bile makes the stool brown.
However, if the dog has a disease in his liver or gallbladder and bile is secreted excessively, the dog can see orange feces.
Â
Â
Â
ăYellow bowel movementsă
Contrary to the orange bowel movements mentioned above, if the amount of bile secreted is small, the stool may appear yellow.
Also, if the dog eats too much greasy food and the fat component cannot be decomposed and discharged as it is, it may cause yellow stool, and may have hypersensitivity or indigestion to certain foods consumed, so please check if there is anything different from what you usually eat. â
Â
Â
Â
ăRed bowel movementsă
If your dog's stool is red, it's a mixture of blood. đ©ž
Bleeding of the colon or anus, downstream of the digestive system, can cause the dog to appear red in the stool.
If your dog is really bleeding heavily in his intestine, it can bleed like diarrhea, not just blood. đ±
This is an emergency, so you should go to the hospital as soon as possible.
Â
Â
Â
ăHard or unshapey diarrheaă
If a dog has a light brown color, tough or non-shape bowel movements, it is a symptom of poor digestion due to problems with the dog's digestive system or eating, and even if the dog is stressed, it can cause diarrhea đą
If the dog's diarrhea persists, dehydration may occur, so please visit the hospital and find out the exact cause.
Â
Â
Â
ăA gray bowel movementă
If your dog's stool is gray and greasy, it's because your digestive system is abnormal. đ„
These symptoms appear due to abnormalities in the function of the dog's pancreas or lack of enzymes to digest fat due to exocrine pancreatic insufficiency.
In this case, you may experience digestive problems continuously, so please visit the hospital and see a doctor. đŁ
Â
Â
Â
ăPurple bowel movementsă
Rarely, there are puppies that have purple stools đ¶
Purple stools may have abnormalities in the liver or pancreas, or may be hemorrhagic gastroenteritis.
Hemorrhagic gastroenteritis is a very dangerous disease for dogs and has a high mortality rate, so you should be able to get it treated quickly đš
Also, purple stools can appear temporarily because they eat certain medicines or food.
Â
Â
So far, we have looked at the health conditions of dogs in the form of defecation.
It was found that various symptoms appeared for various reasons.
I hope today's posting helped a little to check the health of our pets and we'll see you next time with a helpful one.
