One Rough Summer for My Dog and Our Bank Account Please Help!!
My female rottie just had surgery(very expensive) on her doggy ACL (knee) and now I’m worried she may have a hemroid. When she first came home all the meds and pain she was in made it very hard for her to poop. Now when she poops I have noticed her butt hole looks very red and sore sometimes her stool even has blood on it. I don’t know what to do we have spent so much on her this summer already. Now I’m wondering if a can use some over the counter human treatments on her. Help me decide what to do!! Sorry this is such a gross topic.
I know what you mean by vet expenses. I have seven dogs and three horses, and my vet bill looks like the gross national debt. I have spent over $5000 on the horse you see in my avatar just this summer. But blood in the stool indicates that you should let your vet take a look at it.

sorry but there are no OTC human treatments you can use.
Even with humans, blood in the stool is an idication to see the Dr.. nothing OTC will help cure that.
She needs to see a vet.

Cheap, easy, healthy fix: go to the grocery store and buy some canned pumpkin. Give her 2-3 tablespoons 2-3 times per day (if she won’t eat it straight mix it with her food, but most dogs love it!). This will help regulate her bowels and give her a nice nutritional boost.

OK the dog comes first. If you need help go to the PDSA clinic or RSPCA for help and advice. Dont use over the counter remedies or should I dare say what we did and put some money on a credit card and then transfer to interest free for 12 months.
Life is expensive at the moment!
