Pooping blood?? How to help.

Before I say anything, I’ve taken him to the vet twice and my bank account is suffering rn.. So my boy started eating a lot of grass about 2 months ago. Started acting kind of lazy and just not his normal crazy self. So I took him to the vet, they did a poop test and prescribed some provable and that’s pretty much it, I was low on money didn’t really have any other options to do anything else. But must I add I don’t like the vet he’s currently going to, but I didn’t realize this until his most recent visit. Anyway, he was fine for about a month. Kept eating grass and making himself throw up. Fast forward to almost 2 weeks ago, he started pooping blood and not eating food as much. I took him to the vet the second I seen blood in his stool. They did another poop test, I had a little bit more money than last time so I did a gi panel and an x ray. X ray came back good no mass no blockage anything of that sort. Gi panel came back as his b12 levels were low. The vet said he probably has small intestinal disease or dysbiosis. They prescribed some meds and it didn’t help the first week, I was feeding him chicken and rice because he wouldn’t eat anything else. Eventually he stopped eating the chicken and rice so the vet told me to feed him eggs, it’s the only thing he’d eat. I figured it’s better for him to eat that than nothing. Anyways so that probably messed up his stomach more than if he just wouldn’t have ate. Anyways. I ordered a specialized food for him to eat, purina pro plan en gastreoenteric. He’s still refusing to eat and on Wednesday it’ll be 2 weeks that he’s pooping blood and probably about 2 days since he’s eating anything. And he only ate super small amounts and then would refuse food again. I got him b12 vitamins that the vet recommend and started giving him those yesterday. He refused to eat that so I had to shove it down his throat. I’m just at a loss. He’s pooping nothing but blood, having to use the bathroom every 2 hours and that’s driving me nuts at night. I don’t have any money to take him to the vet again… I spent all my money trying to make him feel better, different medicines,$130 bag of food. The vet 2 different times. I can’t even afford my car payment this month😔. So there’s literally absolutely no way I can take him to the vet. He’s still drinking water and google said basically that’s the only reason he’s still alive. I don’t want him to die and I couldn’t stand losing him. He’s been my bestfriend for the past 3 years but I seriously cannot afford another vet visit with people who don’t even listen. This vet is seriously so rushy and barely took the time to listen to me. Didn’t ask what kind of food he was on or anything. I had to do my own research to figure out that I should switch his food. I just don’t know what to do. Ig I came here for some advice or some relief that he’ll be okay. He’s my first dog so I really have no idea if the vet was ever right about small intestinal disease or not. Any advice is much appreciated. And I can tell he’s lost weight.

Me and my bud 🙂

I am no artist ☝🏼. Literally went to Walmart and got the 58 cent paint🤣. I’ve had a vision of this painting for awhile and finally had to time to get it done:). Little bit of coping, meditation and healing went into it 🤣❤️‍🩹 . Figured this would be a nice place to post it 🤍.

Guess what kind of dog he is 😅.

Basal cell carcinoma?

Before I say anything, just know I’m an over explainer to the max so enjoy the ride 🤍.
I’m greatly in need of genuine good advice, thank you.

I 20F got diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma nodular type yesterday.
Firstly I am so thankful for this diagnosis because things could have been terribly worse. My heart goes out to all of you that have experienced this. Yall are all so brave and inspiring 🤍.
I have been feeling so down but I also think I might be coming down with a stomach bug lol. Or it could just be anxiety.
Anywho.
I went and got a biopsy on this spot on my neck earlier this week, and even just simply doing the biopsy and them numbing and cutting a piece for testing was so hard for me. I don’t like doctors or anything of that sort. It took me awhile to agree to the biopsy but once I did I think I had the worst anxiety attack of my life lol. My legs were constantly shaking (and I’m talking about looked like I was seizing and I couldn’t control it.) I felt like I couldn’t breath and everything was just soo overwhelming. After the biopsy I felt really weird. My mind felt foggy and all I could do was stare at the road on the way back home. All in all my body just felt weird. But I think that was because I had such a bad anxiety attack.
This diagnosis scared the absolute shit out of me when I first heard it.
Since getting diagnosed I have done minimal research because I don’t want to freak myself out.
But I know I need to be aware of the risks and how to take care of my skin in the future.
Please anyone that has dealt with this, please tell me your stories.
I am beyond terrified of surgery. Like I said even the biopsy was terrible for me. I think the one thing that scares me about surgery is honestly the healing of the stitches.
I have over 10 tattoos, I’ve had staples from busting my head, broken a leg etc. but none of those things compares to this. I am beyond terrified and grateful at the same time but holy shit how do I make the anxiety go down?!??
They said they want me to make the appointment before 3 months. So I have time to understand what my body is actually going through. And know the risks. Anything you know about basal cell please don’t be afraid to let me know. And tips for anxiety would be amazing.
Thank you guys if you’ve gotten this far. 🤍
