my dog is sick

Rating: 9

My dog has thrown up twice today along with very watery, bloody liquid coming from her rectum. She is not dehydrated and doesn''t have a temperature. She has had 2 doses of Previcox one on Fri. and one on Sat. night. We took her to the vet this morning and the vet was just going to give her a s.q. shot for dehydration along with, an anti nausous drug, and something maybe for diarhea. Now it''s 4:15 p.m. and I am worried about her loosing too much blood. Can you please help me? Is it from the Previcox? It seems like these are direct side effects from the drug.

    It's potentially possible that the Previcox could cause gastroinestinal problems but what you describe sounds more likely to be an incidental gastroenteritis. If she's had treatment today and is not dehydrated now, keep an eye on her for the time being. Blood mixed with watery diarrhoea usually looks alot greater in quantity than it actually is. If the colour of her gums is pink and she is bright she shouldn't need emergency treatment.
