My 14-year-old dog had a urine test that came back for bladder cancer (a month or two ago), after further tests the oncologist said it wasn't as bad as they first suspected and just prescribed him an anti-inflammatory. After a day or two on the meds, he started having diarrhea, which over the course of a day turned into bloody diarrhea like every hour or two. We stopped giving him the meds as soon as the diarrhea started, but that was Sunday and he's still having hourly bloody diarrhea.

My ex wants to put him down, unless I want to take over his care. Googling around hasn't given me much hope in terms of long term prognosis, like it sounds like a bunch of testing and possibly surgery could help but no real easy solution. I guess after typing this out I'm not even sure what my question is. Is there any good chance it's just temporary diarrhea? If it could clear up his QoL seemed fine before this weekend. :(

Diarrhoea occurs semi-frequently after anti-inflammatory use, so it should hopefully clear up now that the medication has been stopped. He'll need re-checking if it continues, gets worst, stops eating, or starts vomiting.

Thank you
