My standard short haired chihuahua has what I think is hemorrhoids. What makes me think this is the fact that when I looked him over his anus was protruding out and looked swollen. I am no expert with hemorrhoids but this was my first guess. He has been having straining bowel movements. At first he had diarrhea all the time now he has solid fecal-matter which he struggles to push out. The pieces are broken apart and seem to be connected to a stand of hair every time. I am really sorry if this is TMI but my fiance and I have zip, zero, and zilch money to take him to the vet. So if this sounds like hemorrhoids what should I do to treat it? Are there any at home remedies? If not will he die because of no treatment? Any of you who have experience with your dogs and hemorrhoids I am looking for your answers. Thanks.
I’m dead serious. Neither my fiance and I work. We have no savings. We just hit a crisis not that long ago. I am not an evil person. I love my baby Dinky and I would totally take him to the vet if I had any kind of money. But seriously though. I literally have 0 money between my fiance and I. I feel really bad for my baby but there is nothing I can do for him right now.

I’ll start off by saying I am only 23. A couple of weeks ago I came down with a pretty bad cold. I went to the doctor and he put me on some antibiotics that didn’t help, all my symptoms stayed the same. It hurt to eat anything besides soup so my bowl movements became very runny, like diarrhea. One day after a BM i noticed blood on my toilet paper, I didn’t think too much about it but the next day when I had a BM it felt like I was passing glass, so after a little internet research I figured I had a hemorrhoid.

The next day was a little uncomfortable but after having another BM that night, I was in a lot of pain. It was hard for me to go to sleep because of the pain, however when I woke up the next day, I seemed to be better. Worried about the night before I decided to bend over in the mirror and take a look myself. I have a large pink lump about the size of a kidney bean where my anus once was! I was very concerned and I have been edge about it ever since! I am too embarrassed to tell any friends for family even though I have tried, I just can’t spit it out. I have been drinking a lot of water and taking a lot of fiber just hoping this will clear up and go away on its own! Whenever I pass a BM it is still painful and bleeds. This has only been about a 5 days total and the pain is manageable I’m just concerned that if I do not take action it might get worse worse, or not clear up at all.

I’d really rather just wait it out if that is an option, I don’t know why I find this too embarrassing to talk over with anyone, but even the thought of going to the doctor at this point is mortifying and I can only bear to do it if it is necessary!

To recap, I believe I have an external hemorrhoid, will it go away on its own or MUST I seek medical attention? Thanks for any help!

I just wanna know how often does your hemorrhoid bleed basically? Seems to me whenever I have really loose stool/diarrhea mine bleeds. I just wanna know if hemorrhoids can bleed often. If I bleed, its a couple drops and thats it…
