Blood in feces
Our seven year old male Ocecat Rudy now and then has blood in his bowel
movement. This is not a constant thing. Nor does he show any other symptoms. He is active, affectionate, maintains his weight and appetite and shows no signs of illness. Any thoughts??? ds -- "The difference between intelligence and stupidity is that intelligence has its limits." |

When i saw a couple of drops of blood on the stool of my cat who was
recently diagnosed with Felv, I ran to the vet and asked, and he said that from time to time it is nothing to worry about. You can always take a stool sample in and have it tested, or do blood work, but chances are some fur or something in his stool just aggravated the lining of his anus, and caused it to bleed a bit.

In the fine newsgroup "rec.pets.cats.misc", "Dick Smyth"
artfully composed this message within on 07 Jun 2004: Our seven year old male Ocecat Rudy now and then has blood in his bowel movement. This is not a constant thing. Nor does he show any other symptoms. He is active, affectionate, maintains his weight and appetite and shows no signs of illness. Any thoughts??? ds What color is the blood? If it is bright red, it could be caused by straining to deficate. If Rudy is constipated, nip it in the bud with some suggestions from the vet. Could be a really simple thing to deal with. -- Cheryl |

Could be Hemorrhoids. Have you tried to get Preparation-H for cats from your
vet? Mine stocks it, and it does a great job. "Dick Smyth" wrote in message ... Our seven year old male Ocecat Rudy now and then has blood in his bowel movement. This is not a constant thing.
