My girlfriends family has a 2 year old Basset hound who is gravely ill
and the vets are stumped.

For over two weeks now, Missy (the Basset) has been had trouble
passing food through body. She was eating, and then every hour or so
would try to deficate. All that would come out was a light stream of
blood. She would try in vain but nothing.

She has lost a lot of weight, and now appears to be on the verge of
death.

The vet's have given her anit-biotics and flatworm treatments and or
now at a loss as to what do...they could do surgery but she probably
wouldn't make it through.

They are treating another dog with similar symptoms.

Any help would truely be appreciated!

Thanks,
Darren F.
