Blood and urine tests came back pretty normal/healthy. Apparently we're still waiting on the results of a FIV test? His results for Feline Leukemia Virus came back equivocal though, so the vet is suggesting we test for it again in another month or so. She assured me that this doesn't...

It was the first I'd heard of it too! I thought it could be the other way around (inflammation from eating a foreign item), but the vet's exact phrasing was “We do find that this behavior is sometimes a result of inflammation in the small intestine (while blood in the stool indicates...

Oop, I keep forgetting to add things: when I mentioned that he likes to chew on/eat soft plastics, our other vet said that they sometimes see that as a result of small intestine inflammation, so Mochi could have more inflammation than just his large intestine/colon where the bleeding is...

Just an update! I kept searching online to see if anyone had the exact same issue as me, so hopefully this can help someone else who might be having the same thing in the future. I was told by my new clinic to take Mochi off the Metamucil because of the increase in blood in his stool, and it...

Thank you for the advice! He's been acting okay, but it's obviously super anxiety inducing for me to know something is wrong. :( I'm waiting to see if my regular vet can get back to me, but I've also booked an appointment with another vet next week for a second opinion just in case. I'm just...

... And a link to my table for anyone who is willing/wants to look at it. Mochi Records

Oop, I forgot to add: he has thrown up a few times these past two weeks, but never really food. Fur two times, and what looks like a feather from a toy once (I very thoroughly double checked all his toys after this). The only thing is that the fur was a fairly small batch; just maybe a little...

:( He's has more blood in his stool since; more regularly than before when we started this specialized diet. It's not a TON of blood and he's still eating/drinking/playing, but he's had it for the past 3 days and since we started the Metamucil (so he been more regular with bowel movements now...

Thank you! Trust me, he knows how to use that face to his advantage...

Thanks for taking the time to reply! ❤️ Mochi is a little over 4 years old now! :) We did take him in last February for blood in his stool as well, and they checked his anal glands, but that didn't seem to be the issue and they suggested it could just be stress (I take him to a cat only...

Thank you for the link! :) I've been pouring over every online site/subreddit/etc ever since this has happened; I think we understandably all get pretty anxious when something is wrong with our kitties. I think I've done all I can right at this moment in terms of making sure to go to the vet...

Hello! I wanted to see if anyone had a similar experience and/or insight to share! :) My ragdoll, Mochi, has been having blood in his stool for the past month or two. It's fresh blood, and needless to say, it scares the heck out of me every time I see it (especially because some days are way...
