Hi, I have 3 year old cat with no previous digestion issues. I recently got a new kitten and about a month and a half after, the older cat randomly went to the bathroom beside the litter box. However, the stool looked normal. The next day he used the kitten's litter box and didn't cover. The stool was softer than usual but still solid, and covered in large patches of bright red blood. I took in the stool sample to be tested... no parasites were found. The vet prescribed metronidazole saying it could be stress induced from the new kitty. I noticed blood in the stool a couple more times but, since he was now covering, I hadn't noticed any for a couple weeks. However the stool has been consistently soft bordering on diarrhea.
Jinx has been on the meds for 2 weeks, and today he has runny diarrhea. Also, today I found more blood in the stool. I'm going on call this vet Monday. He is still acting fine... Playing and eating. Any insight into what else could be going on?
I am not sure if this is relevant but Jinx was on Zyrtec for a short time before this started for a cough. The cough resolved after about 2-3 weeks and he was only on the Zyrtec for about a week.
Thank you!
