I've had 2 or 3 dogs that treed so hard that they would bleed. If hes not treeing real hard you might want to worm him out good. Its normal for a dog that is treeing to hafta poop though, like Jculler said they get excited and hafta go!

One thing that helped was I started feeding those dogs after I got home from hunting instead of in the morning/early afternoon.

I've seen this in alot of dogs. When dogs tree hard, they are putting pressure on their entire body, even their intestines. Sometimes barking real hard will cause small capillaries, within their digestive system, to rupture, and that's why you will see some blood in their stool. It seem the harder a dog trees, the more you see this.

I had a 15 month old english male that I had really high hopes for (he was a cast win away from NTCH and had some money won in PKC) and he was a WOODMONSTER!!!!

He got treed one night and was in the country across a swollen creek (7+ ft deep and MOVING!) He sat in there and hammered down for around 30 minutes and then shut up for 3-4 minutes then came back on but was only treeing like 30-40 barks a minute (He was a 120+ bpm tree dog LOUD and the longest he shut up was 5-10 seconds normally) and not very loud.

I knew something was wrong so I got in there as quick as I could since I had to drive around the mile block and walk in the long way across chisel plowed field. He had treed so hard his rectum had prolapsed. If any of you guys have ever seen a rectal prolapse YUCK!

I eased him out of the woods and made an emergency call to the vet. The vet was extremely good with dogs so I trusted his word and he said that he could fix it but it would never be the same and had a 90% chance of doing it again even just barking around the house.

I loved the dog to death but he was born to hunt and it might still happen even around the kennel. I wasnt going to put him through that again, so I had him put down. Just about made me sick. Everytime you turn a dog loose you take a chance and this time it didnt work out.

Englishman, I'm not a vet...not even a nurse...but my guess would be that something was wrong with the dog before this happened. He might have been born with weak rectal muscles, or a problem with his rectum, and it took something like this to bring it to a head.

I don't like to lose a bad one, much less a good one. You are exactly right; when you turn them loose you never know what might/can happen.

The vet said there might have been an underlying problem that caused it like having worms as a puppy that weakened the rectal lining but he also said he could have strained just right and popped it. Made me sick whatever happened.

Hes not going to die from just having blood in their stool. Im talking about a whole different thing when I say rectal prolapse. Its about 10000 times worse than bleeding after they tree. Thats fairly normal with a really hard tree dog. When a dog has a rectal prolapse the linings of the rectum tear loose and about 4 inches of their bowel/intestine will be hanging out. Really nasty.

I dont worry about it when a dog passes bloody stool right after treeing hard. If you start to see bloody stool in the kennel there's a problem and if his rectum prolapses or protrude you will know it. It looks like a nasty half rotten hollow bratwurst hanging out his bum. Makes me cringe when I think about it.
