Description Fecal occult blood in dogs refers to a clinical symptom of the presence of blood in the feces that is not visible to the naked eye. This symptom may be caused by certain diseases of the digestive tract or intestines. Testing for this symptom can determine whether dogs have gastrointestinal or intestinal diseases. Pathological Introduction Gastrointestinal bleeding: The causes of gastrointestinal bleeding may be mechanical (such as ulcer rupture) or inflammatory (such as inflammatory bowel disease). One of the most common reasons is diseases or injuries inside the digestive tract, such as gastric ulcers, intestinal inflammation, tumors, or injuries. These conditions may lead to blood entering the digestive tract. Food allergy or poisoning: Some dogs may have allergic reactions to specific foods or ingest toxic substances, leading to gastrointestinal inflammation and bleeding, manifested as blood in the stool. Intestinal parasite infections: Such parasitic infections as hookworms and tapeworms can cause damage to the intestinal mucosa and bleeding, resulting in blood in the stool. This condition is usually accompanied by other symptoms such as diarrhea and weight loss. Infectious diseases: Such bacterial, viral, or other pathogen infections as bacterial enteritis and canine distemper may cause damage to the intestinal mucosa and bleeding, resulting in blood in the stool.
