4170. VET CASE STUDY. blood in the young poodle stools

A young poodle passes fresh blood in the stools for one day.

Abdominal palpation is very useful to detect the presence of foreign bodies in the stomach and lower intestines. This video demonstrates abdominal palpation by the vet. There was a slight reaction to the first stomach palpation, but the poodle twitched and did not cry out. No other pain reaction in the intestinal areas. 

So, there was no need to X-ray this poodle. Medication resolved the problem. The dog recovered fully in 3 days. ADVICE. Abdominal palpation can detect pain, lump or foreign bodies inside the gastrointestinal duct. However, some owners prefer X-rays directly.
