Ok.. so i have had crohns for almost 20 years so I know a thing or two about intestinal track and intestinal pains and diarrheah.
My dog just had a colonoscopy last friday. His symptoms have basically been that he has pain while pooping. At first we thought maybe a small cut near the anus and tried some lotions. The that he is constipated and tried meds for that. I tried reducing the amount of protein in his diet to produce an more even outcome. But nothing helps the pain. Sometimes he will first poop a normal one and a bit later again but with diarrheah.
So ½ year of these symptons and we do the colonoscopy. And aperently there is something there. There is some infection and blood spots and white clumps?. They took some samples and a blood test of gastrointestinal-panel (what ever that means).
I cant belive my dog has something wrong with his intestines. Its just so ironic. And hes only 2 years old. They even took a x-ray of his bones to make sure the pain was not caused by something in his back. For older dogs this may have been one reason and they wanted to eliminate it too.
My question actually is for those that have infection in your large intestine (since mine was always in my small intestine) is that does pooping in particular cause you a lot of pain? Up till now I was assumiong there would have been something wrong near his rectum or anus... but it seems to be up in the turn of the transverse colon/ decending colon and in the decending colon in general. He has no hemroids or anything like that.
Some ideas please. Just to help understand what maybe he is feeling like.
The results of the biopsis done in the colonoscopy will come in 2-3 weeks.
