My question is lengthy so I will try to give us much detail as possible without being confusing. Over the past year my Coton de Tulear (now aged 23 months) has experienced high white counts 18000 to 24000. His urine sample have shown blood in the urine at these times. He has been given antibiotics with the last being taken for 3 weeks. At the end of the three weeks we waited an additional week for a folow-up urine test which was normal and a white count which was 17,000. He still seem somewhat lethargic and pants alot with the heat (we are in south central Iowa). He has had the heart worm test and is currently on the monthly heart worm pill. Also, within the past month he gained 1 lb (now 17.9#) and honetly I can't imagie why. He has not been eating that much.

He has from time to time vomited bile but we attributed that to a sensitive stomach and it has not occurred often. Last night would not eat at all. His gut was "tinkling" loudly. This morning when we went for out walk he had two stool. The first time he whimpered and then passed an unformed, deep cherry colored stool. The second came without any whimpering but the same results. I was gone all day yesterday and do not know if he ate anything he should not have. My husband was with him and doesn't believe he got into anything. He did vomit bile this morning, too. All I have is a tympanic thermometer an that shows a temperature of 101.8 F. Any ideas if this is critical?
