Hiya worried about Simba, just watched him go the toilet outside in his litter den and there was blood in it, the last couple of days caught him having a poo in the sink don't know if that has anything to do with it,he has been a bit quieter the past couple of days. He was neutered a couple of weeks ago,will have to ring the vets and see whats wrong :(
-
Hopefully its nothing serious, just a minor irritation or something like that. Let us know what the vet says :hug:
-
Sorry to hear Felix isn't well, :hug:
Others will have more in depth advice i'm sure, but i'd be making an appointment at the vets just to get everything checked out
Hope he's feeling better soon

we had this with oscar they said it was nothing I'd check though because of the going in strange places
-
how did it go at the vets?
I had this with my new cats a couple of weeks ago. They have been on 2 courses of antibiotics since they came to me. The blood cleared up within a day but one of them is still having very runny poo so may be another trip to the vet :(
Hope all is settled with you now..

Haven't been the vets yet,got to go at 3.35pm :'( thats the first appointment I can get :'(
-
Good luck :hug:

Hi Felix, my little girl Bengal Mellika has had this from time to time and the vets have said that it is nothing for us to worry about, just a slight irritation. Hope the visit to the vets goes well. Are your babies all recovered from being "done" ?
-
Good Luck at the vets this afternoon :hug:

Marly had this a few years ago & he has never ever poohed in the house before. he did it in the lounge. Vet gave him anti biotics & he said he prob poohed there so we would see & realise there was a problem.. he got back on track in no time hon :)
Edit : actually thinking back did he have anti biotics ?? I think it was a bladder infection he had.. either way he was fine xx

Hi everyone
Have been giving antibiotics the vet said it is colitis (don't know if I spelt it right) he could of picked it up from anything,will have to take him back next week only if he is not better.He gave him an injection and his claw went straight in my finger(painful) he only just said that our Bengals were well behave for Bengals, (spoke to soon)
-
Glad to hear he's ok. Bertie has had blood in his poo every few months ever since he was a tiny kitten ... vet says it's a blood vessel that keeps bursting for no real reason, but it's horrible to see and worries me every time! he's fighting fit though ;D
-
:thanks: Berties mum he does seem a bit better than he was earlier :Luv:
-
Aw, I'm glad. Hopefully the antibiotics won't take long to start working. Bertie, Bella and Minnie send big get-well headbutts :hug:
-
Thanks Berties mum, haven't been able to come online for a few days,its not my pc and there is always someone on it,
Simba has been still quieter than normal and not eating as much as he would normaly :'( gonna take him back to the vets this afternoon just noticed that he still has a little bit of blood in his poo's :'(
-
Do hope all went well at the vets. :hug:
-
How did Simba get on at the vets :hug:
-
The vet gave him more antibiotis different ones this time,he recons that it could be caused by stress after being neutered,he is just not playing like the other two and been off his food,but he still seems to eat the white tuna and prawn meal which I give him sometimes as a treat.The vet said I didn't need to change his diet or anything,if these antibiotis don't work he will have to have blood tests :'( does anyone know how much blood test are? :'(
-
Hiya,
I don't know if that's helpful at all, but Mia had blood in her poo when she was a tiny kitten. The vet said it was because her food was too rich (it was whiskas kitten), so I moved her to something different (james wellbeloved, hilife, burns, nature's menu, that kind of thing...) and she's been fine since. Hope he gets better!

Cant remember how much i paid for blood tests for Bob, but like everything else it mount up to a lot of money
Do you have insurance, will they pay for these, if its not been done before,

My little Frostie (now sadly at the Bridge) had this problem on and off for years and the vet said it was the equivalent of human piles. She did have a very sensitive (persian) tummy and perhaps strained at times but was otherwise healthy and extremely active. Well meaning neighbours gave her milk and left over battered fish to 'fatten her up' despite my explaining she was on a speicial diet. Once day I just exploded at them and poor babe had a big tag with 'please don't feed me' until they finally realised they were making her ill.
