I am desperate to save my cat . We have been dealing with blood and mucus in her stools, diarrhea, and her leaving presents on our carpet. We have 2 cats, but have had them both since 2009. We have 2 litter boxes in different rooms in the basement, she only poops on the floor in the basement (sometimes its the carpeted areas sometimes is the concrete floor) (sometime she hides it behind the couch and other times its left in the middle of the floor). She always urinates in her litterbox. She poops in her litter box maybe 25% of the time and that goes in waves. We have done multiple blood panels, fecal samples and everything comes back normal. We have treated her for Giardia as a precaution, she has been on multiple antibiotics, an anti-diarrheal's and now steroids...nothing seems to help her. We have tried a hypo allergenic diet, gastrointestinal, high fiber, high protein (Science hills ZD, EN, Royal Canin gastrointestinal and hypo allergenic diets) She is now on a high protein no grain raw freeze dried diet by Natures Instincts, steroids and probiotics, and its still not working. This is all over a 5 year span. We have tried different kinds of cat litter, adding more boxes, moving boxes around, different types of boxes-covered, uncovered, deep, shallow etc...We have seen 5 vets (2 feline specialist, 2 regular vets, and an internist). I truly think its something medically wrong with her. I just feel like a bad cat mom because I cant figure out what's wrong with my first fur baby .
Any ideas you have would be appreciated...I know the vet said out next step would be an endoscopy if we choose to go that route which is $7900!! We cannot afford that. I feel like we are headed down a euthanization path if we cant get this solved. We have a 17mo old son and we cannot have her pooping all over the floor, as its not safe. I don't know if she is in any pain as cats tend to hide this.
We just spent $700 for an ultrasound, results came back with no findings...I feel like I am at a loss and I don't know what to do.
Thanks in advance
