Hello. I have been sooooo frustrated for the last couple months. I have 2 cats-got both around May 2001. I noted a while ago that stool was a strange color and was soft so I had both cats checked and no signs of worms or parasite. About 2 weeks ago, I came home and oh boy my apartment SMELLED! When I cleaned the litter box, I found stool with blood in it. Of course, I freaked out and made an appt for Sat- 2 days later. The very next day after I found blood in stool, I moved so I'm sure that didn't help. The dr gave me some pills to give to Sunni (That's who I suspected had blood in stool). Unfortnately, last Tues, I found some blood again in the stool and this stool was from Zebra so I'm not sure who has this problem or if both have it. I took them to the vet last night and was told to wait because it has not been steady- meaning blood in stool every time I clean out the box. I have only seen blood 2 times so far in the last month. He told me that as long as the cats are keeping weight, remaining active and happy, and having stool reasonably regular (normal looking stool) that they should be okay. He told me that I need to bring them back if the stool has blood regularly, if the cats started acting differently or start losing weight. He said he could do more tests-blood tests, etc but he feels sometimes that is overkill and wants to wait a while to see.
Now my question is - is this reasonable advice or is the vet not doing enough???????
What do u think could be causing this? The cats are doing just fine- very active and loves to get in my way and demand attention and shows no signs of pain or discomfort...
