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,
