minpin

Question
My minpin is having a gel like poop and there is a burnt red color in it. His poop is normal most of the time, so is this normal? Will people food cause this? I also have a large dog Sasha,who is a boxer, and they play fabulous together, but at times Sasha and Chico (minpin) will get rough. Sasha never hurts him, but could she cause internal bleeding? I am worried cause I am not sure what warning signs I should look for?

Answer
No, this is not normal. It could be caused from something that was ingested, but the only way to be sure is take a stool specimen in for examination.

I would eliminate the rough playing because one swipe with a big paw could truly hurt the minpin. Backs can be very delicate things.
