Should I stop the Previcox?

I noticed yesterday and the day before Shady has had blood in her poo, which I think is down to the previcox she has been on for 5 days now.
She is due to have another dose with her breakfast this morning, and I am wondering if I would be best not giving it too her.
Its helped her leg a bit but not that much and I don't want it to cause more problems than we already have.
What would you do?

yes, I would stop the previcox and call your vet. Is she on any stomach protectants?

.

Thanks, No she is not on anything else. I was just told to give it with her food.
I won't give it to her with her breakfast today then and will give the vets a ring when they open.

I would cease it too and call the vet, Bev.

Good luck - poor Shady - one thing after another.....

I havn't given it to her this morning and I called vet. He said to stop it for a couple of days, if the blood in poo stops then try starting it again Monday and see how she goes and to make sure it is that.
