Found Some Blood on the Floor
Is there any way to get a urine sample from him? That would really help
check for blood or white blood cells. We got a sample from home with our cat by keeping him in a room by himself with one litter box. We had plastic crystals in the box from the vet, but you could probably just put a little of the normal litter in the center and hope he pees in a corner. You can then extract it with a syringe. Ask your vet about timing on getting it in to them. Seems to me it had to be refrigerated if you couldn't get it to them in a certain time frame. Good luck, Rhonda mc wrote: Well, here we are again, worrying about Max. It is after 12:00 pm and the vets office is closed now. I am going to give them a call anyway... But, does anyone know what this could be? Max is the kitty that just had the surgery for the crystals in his urine, and he is very nicely healed up now. His fur is beginning to grow back and he is starting to look normal again - just to give you an idea of how long ago the surgery was... We have two cats, and both use all the litterboxes in the house. I found what appears to be about a dime sized bit of blood smeared on the floor of the bathroom (looked to be diluted possibly with urine, it wasn't bright red) and also a drop of blood about a foot away from the same litterbox. I strongly suspect Max is the culprit but there is no way for me to know for sure... But I have not detected any blood in the litterbox. I am about to go downstairs to clean it out and will double check at that time. I don't know where the blood might have come from, neither Max nor Butterball normally "miss" the litterbox. What I mean to say is that I have no idea if the blood is from, maybe a wound, or from using the litterbox? Does that make sense? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. |
