We put her on soft food and this morning when she went poop there was blood spatter all around where she pooped. We called the emergency number and the vet that seen her called right back and I told her there was blood on her poop, and all over the snow. Her reply was at least we know where the blood is coming from.
She said I could bring her in but I told her we would drive the extra distance to Monte Vista instead. I was not impressed by the exam she gave her and she did not do many checks and only gave her a cursory look at best. Clearly she was not happy to hear that but I was even more unhappy at her lack of professionalism.
Carol drove Lucy to Monte Vista and Lucy's diagnosis is an infected anal gland that was drained and she was given antibiotics. Different vet and one we have known for a long time. Won't be going back to the first vet.

Thank goodness you went to the 2nd vet and got started on the diagnosis and healing process for Lucy. I hope you see an improvement now that she is on antibiotics. Please keep us posted. Lucy is a beautiful dog - regal looking!
Good for you! Sometimes you have to make decisions to leave a vet, it isn't easy! I'm thinking of leaving my equine vet after being with them for for 10-15 years. She has a new partner and has changed things around and now has a wellness program. It did not work out well for us on a multitude of levels, so now I may have to find a new vet.
wow, glad the infection was caught.
