My cat has just done a poo in the tray and i saw bright red in it from the other side of the room she covered it up b4 I got there to have a look but got some latex gloves on and had a poke about and its deffo blood in her poo Dave has just left 4 a night shift waiting 4 him 2 call me so i can tell him what could it mean what should I do please help

Dont worry hun, it may be something like colitis - my pup is just going through a bout of colitis himself.

Yes puss will need checking out, but if shes ok in herself and eating etc, then you will be able to wait until hubbies home and get a normal apt.

If shes not ok in herself, and is behaving strangeley around her back end....or any major stretching and wierd movements then I say you should have her seen sooner.



Dont panic, the most likely thing is that shes eaten something thats really bothered her........also I did have a cat once that took a shine to all these flippin blackberries, and I had her to the vet to be told it was the pigment from the berries turning her poo red , I felt so stupid!!

thanx hun she is fine in herself sleeping (as usual now) just got me really worried as we lost her mum earlier this year dont need it atm she is my baby puss so will keep a close eye on her and get her in asap

most important thing is that she is ok in herself and acting normal?

also bright red blood is so much better than dark red blood as that would indicate an intestinal bleed where as bright red blood could be something simple e.g. she was straining? maybe shes a bit constipated?

if shes ok in herself I would feed a light diet over the next 24 hours and monitor her closely. check to see what your vets opening times are over weekend. if shes not ok I would get her seen just now

and please please please be careful when handling her poo (all the time not just with blood in) seeing as you have a little baby to protect

xx

yeah i dont usually go near the litter try and I had my face covered and 2 pairs of surgical gloves on and antibac hot washed my hands straight after

Will check out the vets times 4 the weekend and keep an eye on her Thnax XX

One of my cats also went through something similar. I had to feed her a diet of fresh chicken or fish for a couple of weeks until her tummy settled. She was fine though x

My dog has just had this. The vet said it's very common and gave some tabs to calm his tummy x

My pussy was the same last year, it did it for over a week then just stopped, she was fine and happy in herself though xxxx

Nothing but worry army they Hun, hope she's a bit better, she could have eaten something x
