Why is my 17-year-old lab having green stool, nosebleed, and walking issues?

Poor guy! From your description, it definitely sounds like something is wrong. Vomiting dark black material and dark tarry stools are often signs of bleeding in the stomach or intestines, which can be extremely serious. Not eating and not wanting to walk down the stairs are vague signs that indicate he is in pain or not feeling well. I would strongly recommend taking your dog to the vet today for an exam, since this sounds like quite a serious problem. He/she can do blood work and x-rays if needed to help diagnose the problem and get him started on appropriate treatment.

Duke is extremely ill, and he has to see a vet now. This is not something you can treat at home. Please take him into an ER vet clinic; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website. Best of luck.

I am sorry Major is not doing well. With an older patient a wide range of possibilities could cause this behavior like infection, brain lesion, vascular even (stroke) and even trauma to the spinal cord. I would recommend taking him to the vet as soon as possible for evaluation to see if there is anything you can do to help Major. I hope he improves

I'm sorry Max isn't well! He could be suffering from a foreign body, severe diarrhea from eating something rotten, hemorrhagic gastroenteritis, or intestinal worms causing the blood and mucus in his stool as well as the gurgling stomach and lack of appetite. When a dog has blood in the stool, it's time to see a vet to diagnose the cause of it because blood in the stool can be very serious. Home remedies are not recommended in these cases due to that, so I would take Max into a vet today. Good luck, I hope this helps!

Iola needs to be seen by a vet immediately. Dark stool may indicate that she is bleeding inside her GI tract. Blood in urine is never normal. Nose bleeding is also not normal, and it is unlikely that she cut the inside of her nose. All of these point to a bleeding or clotting disorder, which can be life-threatening. After thorough examination and medical history, the vet will likely recommend bloodwork to try to determine the cause of her sudden bleeding so that she can receive appropriate treatment.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Dixie. I recommend that he sees a veterinarian today. His symptoms are worrisome. A severe respiratory tract infection can cause green nasal discharge and coughing. He could also have pneumonia. If he is unvaccinated, distemper virus infection can cause respiratory and gastrointestinal signs. The veterinarian will examine him and may make testing recommendations such as x-rays of his chest. I hope this information helps!

Since Charlie has been having abnormal stools for more than 2-3 days, I think medical intervention is needed at this time. I would be concerned about intestinal parasites and possibly parvovirus since he is so young and not fully vaccinated yet. I would recommend taking Charlie in to your vet and bringing a sample of his stool with you to be tested. Hopefully nothing too serious is going on but because he is so young it is better to make sure he is healthy. I hope this helps. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Best of luck!
