    Rosco isn't eating!!
    Hello to all! I have a pup named Rocso. (male) he hasn't been eating, so far I've been giving him asperin. Today I checked him and I saw blood. I figure that he might be pooping blood or coughing up blood. He look as if he hasn't pead. His breed is a rottwiere, full. He is very boney, His stomich is very narrow, and his eyeballs seem to be in torward his face. He walks olny a small distance, my guest is two feet. Once in a while he get up very slow to drink a small amount of water, my guest is three of four licks of water.
    Please help me get an idea of what might be wrong with him!

    Why have you been giving him aspirin? Aspirin is known to cause bleeding within the intestines and stomach?

    You checked him and saw blood. Where did you see blood, on his ear? You need to be more specific.

    How old is Roscoe?

    You need to get him to a vet as soon as possible.

    If Rosco has not been vaccinated he could have one of several viruses that cause bloody diarrhea and/or vomit such as Corona virus, Distemper, Leptospirosis, Parvo virus, just to name a few that describe the symptoms he having.
    If he has not been wormed here are the most common worms found in dogs that can create the symptoms you described above: Hookworms, Tapeworms, Roundworms, Heartworm, and Whipworms.
    He really needs to go to the vet, all the things above are deadly and that's not to mention all the things not mentioned. There really is no other way to get this pup better at this point. Blood in vomit or diarrhea along with lethargy is very serious symptoms. He could have been poisoned... he just needs to see a vet.
    Best Luck,
