Hi. My cat has had bloody mucusy stools for about 3 months now. I know because he keeps pooping all over himself then we have to wash him. We went to the vet did stool test and fiv felv blood test... All normal. Went on science diet i/d then slowly to merrick limited ingrediant. Nothing helping. I guess the next step would be the few hundred dollar blood work up right? My concern is that we had a kitten pass away from FIP in December. Her stool was the same as this. He is acting fine and eating so I haven't been too concerned just not sure what to do next. Any advice welcomed thanks!

I would go to a different vet for a second opinion.  Has he been on metronidazole to help firm up his poops?  I have a kitty on Royal Canin Gastrointestinal HE.  Something like that for sensitive tummies might help.

If that's flagyl then yes. They put him on it last time. You think I should try royal canin? I think he was a little better on the hills brand than the merrick so I was going to switch back but maybe I should try the Royal canin. I'll get a second opinion from another vet before anything I guess. Thanks
