I got a new kitten 4 weeks ago and he was 6 weeks old then. When I first got him home I noticed/heard him kinda squeel and meow in distress when he would poop, and not really anything when he would pee. After one rather loud episode, (he was having watery feces at this time) I checked his rear and there was a little blood there. So, I swabbed a sample and took him to the vet.
They said he had worms, etc. and this was causing him pain/distress.
Well 4 weeks later, he still makes noise when he poops, sometimes not too bad, sometimes very loud and very infrequently not at all. It seems he is also doing this when peeing (very infrequently).
Is he just doing this noise as habit now? I'm guessing not and he is going back to the vet today. Any opinions?
The vet has a good rep - so I guess I'll wait to see what he says - but I think he'll say it's just residual worms or brush it off.
The kitten hasn't associated any negatives (that I can tell) with using the box - he still does and doesn't go anywhere else. And he is a very happy and great guy besides the occasional litter box distress.
Any opinions appreciated.
