anal bleeding

Question
My dog has been experiencing some anal bleeding for a couple of days now. I have read some previous questions that have been posted and can say that her bleeding occurs separate from the stool and is bright red suggesting that the anal tissue is bleeding. I have not visited the vet mainly because finances do not give me the liberty. I realize she does need medical attention but until then natural home remedies is the best I can offer her. According to the symptoms I believe she might have IBD. Is there anything that you could suggest? If you happen to know of any non-profit organizations or reduced rate vets, please let me know.
Thanks in advance,

Answer
Hi Coralis:  You can try your little one on some Duck and Potato food.  Try this for 2 months and see if there is a change in stool and blood.  Also, you can add ALL BRAN cereal to your dog's diet 2 x per week... I would do 3 teaspoons into the food every other day or every third day... Added fiber ...

I believe Wellness Formula or Eagle Brand make a Duck and Potato.
Go to the local pet store and get a good holistic food.

BEST Wishes.... if the blood continues, call a vet and ask if they would take payments... Tell them your are short on cash.  Some vets are willing to work with the public.
