Fritz just had diarrhea yesterday but now I recall thinking it was an "interesting" color - that was the blood. today he is just pooping blood so I took him to the emergency vet. I think they are the only vet open Sundays for hundreds of miles around plus they are busy with emergencies they told me.
so we spent hours waiting to get the paperwork done, vitals take, etc before we saw a vet and Fritz was clearly miserable.
if Xrays show something that needs surgery I will probably decide not to have it done since he is 10 years old and it would be at least $2500 (additional!)) the vet said. might just need fluids and antibiotics, won't know til later today.
the vet asked if he could have eaten anything toxic...well, sure. when we go for walks all three of them want to either pee on everything or eat it. what is that, bird poop? leave it!
so it will be a hard afternoon waiting to hear.

Jackie, I am sorry Fritz is ill. I hope he gets well to be with you many more years.
I hope that Fritz is better soon!
