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 think I have a hemorrhoid, but I’ve never had one before so I don’t know. Not to get gross, but it hurts when I make a bowel movement, but only right as it is exiting. It’s like a stinging sensation like there’s a cut or something. My bowel movements have been drier and harder than usual- guess b/c I haven’t had time to cook good meals, always eating on the go. Then when I wipe there is a small amount of bright red blood. Sometimes I’m a little itchy there too. There are no bumps or anything that I can see, so I guess it’s on the inside. Will prep H cure this and how long will it take? I’ve had symptoms for about a week now and just started using prep H yesterday.
