My 11yo male has been diagnosed with possible neoplasia or autoimmune disease. He was rushed to animal hospital for rectal bleeding after a fecal exam by vet. Blood work was all screwy. But with his age we opted not to undergo expensive diagnostic testing. We did discover thru that he has an enlarged prostate and he has not been neutered. Has anyone experienced anything like this? The bleeding was possibly froma polyp that ruptured during fecal exam. Any input would be appreciated.

I'm confused

I know a couple of humans that had this problem and they swear by apple cider vinegar. See what the vet thinks, here's an article. Maybe you could just put some in his water.
