Hi all,
I was horrified this morning to discover a piece of *something* on the floor--it was about 1 inch long and kind of curled over so if it was flat it would be about 1/4" to 1/3" wide. It also had ridges on it (like an earthworm). It was bloody and I assumed it came from one of my cat's butt. I looked at my 9 month old and her anus has blood on it. We've had her for 4 months and she was dewormed before we got her and this is the first sign of anything. I've never seen anything strange in the litterbox and she's been fine. I saved the thing and was thinking of taking it and her to the vet. Does this sound like worms? Could it be something she ingested? Would that show up bloody? If it is worms, can the vet give me meds for my other 2 cats or will I likely have to take them in too?
