AboutBecky Expertise I have owned dogs my whole life. I was a veterinarian assistant for several different vets, so I might be able to help out on health issues. Although I love all dogs, my favorites are the toy breed. I am not a breeder, so those type of questions should be directed to someone who is. I have three chinese crested, two chihuahuas and one yorkie/silky mix. I would be happy to answer any questions on these particular breeds,or just dogs in general. Please keep in mind,however, that I am NOT a Veterinarian. If you feel your dog is seriously ill, then please take your pet to a qualified professional. Although we "experts" try to help you with your questions, it is impossible to "see" or "touch" your dog through a computer. If you feel your dog's life is in danger, please call a Veterinarian immediately. Thank you!

Question I have a 2 month old puppy she have not yet been vaccinated,but what I notice was that when she is pooping she is also bleeding and there is also some source of mucous what does she have?
Answer Hi Cynthia,
Your puppy needs to be dewormed. She could also have coccidea, which is another parasite that infects the intestine causing mucousy, bloody diarrhea. There are several different types of worms that your puppy could have. Although you don't have to,if you can take a stool sample in when you go, the Vet will have a better chance of seeing what's going on under the microscope. I would recommend you have your puppy dewormed as soon as possible. You don't want to let it get to the point where she becomes sick and puppies can die if they are too badly infested. Hookworms are blood suckers and can make your pup anemic. Best thing to do , is have her dewormed. She is at the age to get her first vaccinations also.
God Bless,
Becky
