Hi all:
I hope to hear from those who had a SIMILAR scare - my cat had blood in her poop frist time about a month ago. Never had it before, never was constipated or vice versa. I immideately took her to a Vet clinic, and she was checked by a Dr. He told me that she looks very healthy, perfect weight, nice personality, etc. He was sure she is OK but asked me to bring her poop for the test. I did it, he called me next day and told me that she had no worms, no infections. We were taking 2 medications on his advice. Before we finished, she had blood a few times. Not every day, but about once a week or so. Good appetitie, playing, running. I called the clinic and her vet suggested that I change her diet to feline ID, prescription. I immideately purchased both WET and DRY feline ID. My cat loves the taste, eats it with pleasure. FELINE ID, however, contains liver by-products, I try NOT to feed her by-products. Now, she is on this expensive ($2 a can) prescription food. Blood was there, not as often as before, but still - at times, I still see it. Finally after about 3 weeks on this new diet, blood disappeared. I was so happy... a week later, i.e. THIS MORNING, her stool was more lose AND had blood in it, again. She did not want to play and ate slower than usual...
WHAT SHOULD I DO??? Please help. My vet clinic says, it's very common, it was caused by the food I gave her previously, but she was on the same food for about three months, and only AFTER that, we started having this blood problem.... Hope to hear from those who know. THANK you. I interviewed a lot of cat people and nobody had anyting similar...
