Blood in stools

[ManekiNeko]

My 10 month old DS has had a virus and has had dioherea for about 2 days. He just had another movement with a little bit of mucousy blood in there. Should I be concerned?

this happened to Hunter a few weeks ago when he was really sick. It was there for about 2 days, i called that nurse on call number & she said if it was still there tomorrow then take a sample in to the Dr's for testing... it didnt happen again which was good & hasnt happened since.
she explained it can be from diahrea & straining :( poor little bodies...
if it continues for a few more days or gets worse id do what she told me to do
hope he is ok :hugs:

Thanks for that I will keep an eye on him then. I hope this is the last of it he's just been sick for the last month basically.

Often diarrhoea and vomiting can damage the mucosa (lining) of the bowel and stomach and cause some bleeding, especially if its been going on for a few days. Keep an eye on it and if you are concerned, or if his condition changes (more lethargic, pale, sweaty, increased vomiting/diarrhoea then take him to see a doctor (probably only emergency departments open tomorrow unfortunately). Good luck, hope he is ok.
