Kitten has some Blood in her Poop

[sebnari96]

So, I was cleaning out the used litter out of my kitten's box and looked at her poop. There was like a sliver of blood in it. If you have seen me before, then I am talking about my kitten Inari. She is my problem child. We were suppose to get a healthy kitten, but we didn't. We have had problems with her since day one.

She has energy and she plays, but I saw some blood. What does it mean to have blood in stool?

Blood in stool is usually a digestive issue. Could be either from diarrhea or constipation. Kittens have sensitive digestive systems so certain foods or changing foods can cause that. I'd recommend adding either a digestive enzyme to her foods or probiotics to help, and maybe changing foods.

She is on digestive enzymes. I bought a big jar of it two Saturdays ago. She does have a digestive issue, and the vet put her on a bland wet food diet for a month.
I was just concerned since it was a small amount. Her stool is normal, so that's good.

What digestive enzyme are you using? Small is nothing to worry about.

How long have you had her?  Kittens with bloody stool usually have a parasite that they picked up prior to adoption usually coccidia or giardia.

I've had her since July 8th.
She has been dewormed twice and my vet doesn't believe it's parasites...I don't think. She eats x3 and plays hard. I called the vet, and they said if it's gets worse, is to bring her in.
