My question is for some days my dog has been ill with red and felling very weak. His stool comes out watery and black. the vet doctor says he is suffering from intestinal bleeding. Even though he has been put on infusion and some injections he still not feeling ok. His health is detoriating fast, he doesn't eat only drinks water and now vomit blood and foaming. what actually is the problem?

ROCKYSymptoms: vomiting, diarrhea -
Hi
Did Rocky make a full recovery? It sounds like he had hemorrhagic gastroenteritis, which is caused by a nasty viral or bacterial infection. The only treatment is antibiotics, intravenous fluids and symptomatic treatment for the vomiting. If he had picked up parvivirus, that is the most life threatening of the common infectious diseases.
I hope he pulled through OK.
