There are two options depending upon how severe the ulcer appears to be. If it is mild to moderate, the veterinarian may choose medical therapy, which consists of a short-term course of acid-reducing medication and antibiotics to clear out the bacteria causing the ulcers. If the ulcer is moderate to severe, the veterinarian may recommend emergency surgery to repair the hole in the stomach (if it has perforated), then add the medical treatment on top of surgery.

Yes, ulcers, particularly those in the gastrointestinal tract such as peptic ulcers, can lead to bleeding, which may result in blood appearing in the stool or from the anus.

However, other conditions, such as hemorrhoids or anal fissures, can also cause anal bleeding, so it's important to consult a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
