Rueben is in the veterinary hospital for a couple of days. He's had some blood on his stool recently, and then there were a few spots on the tile his litter box sits on. I am so worried! No changes in food or litter. When I adopted him from the Humane Society, he came with the recommendation of Hill's W/D dry food and has been on it here as his colon was irritable. He also gets some canned wet food. No diet changes. I am so worried!
 
I've gone through the bloody stools and drops of blood on the floor leading out of the box. My vet at the time diagnosed Irritable bowel disease and put him on fortiflora. He was fed dry food at the time but to get the fortiflora I mixed it in with wet food. He got better but never had normal stool. Until he was diagnosed with FD and switched to mostly wet food right before that. His gut tolerates wet food much better and he hasn't had another bloody stool since. His stool is more towards normal now too. Might be TMI but he use to leave a sample when he sneezed. Rarely happens anymore.
I hope it's a simple fix for your kitty. Sending healing vines!
 
Prayers for Rueben! If it's red blood you're seeing it's less worrisome than blood that turns the stools black and tarry, but you still want to find the cause of it. :bighug:
 
My Rico has had some blood off and on throughout his life (almost 18 now) My vet has never been able to find a cause and he is on budesonide now for water poo. I am starting to wean him off and hopefully no more blood (and sometimes mucos)
sending prayers....:bighug:

Doesn't apply here but could be helpful to both humans, dogs and cats. Blood streaks on the outside of stool and in the stool are two different things. Long term hemorrhoids (always funny until you have tem) taught me that lesson.
 
Worms/parasites will cause blood in the stool. Dakota does this every once in a while even tho' I give flea treatment that kills MOST kinds. It doesn't kill them all - I give a dose of dontral when I start seeing it. That's certainly not the only reason for the blood but it's one reason.

HUGS 'cos it sure is worrisome...
 
Nothing says love like picking apart a piece of poo! Aliens would wonder who's in charge down here. We walk behind the dog, then bend over in minus 40 weather to pick up every last molecule. And of course there's always the "Hole in the bag" nightmare. "Here Kitty, let daddy look at your bum."
 
When my monsters were on dry food my civie would have blood in his poop every now and then and I think it was because he straining to poop from the lack of moisture. Once Dusty became diabetic and I switched them both to wet food it went away. They're also both on foriflora now and their poop looks great! LOL.
