Bear with me, as this might be a long one.
I got 2 male kittens at 8 weeks old, they are now 20 weeks old. From day 1 I had issues with them having constant diarrhea. After 2 months we figured out they had a severe intolerance to regular cat food and were put on Royal Canin Sensitivity Control pouches, which, btw, cost a bloody fortune (costs me £4 a day to feed them). After this, their poo's went back to normal, however, they have diarrhea again now, despite there being no changes in their diet, however, one of my kittens, Tigger, has been bleeding from his rectum.. It wasn't in his faeces, it wasn't after doing a poo either, he was lay in bed (with me), started walking around and as he did, left a trail of watery blood behind him.
He has also recently been poo'ing in my hall, now, I personally think this is a purposeful act of defiance because he looks so proud of himself and no matter how much I clean it, he will do it in the same spot(s) over and over. Very occasionally, he will use his tray and pee's in it no problem at all. They have a litter tray each btw.
Tigger has a vets appt tonight but I wondered if any of you could give some insight?
I love them to bits but I'm starting to wonder if they are worth all the hassle/money.. I also have a 1 year old and a 3 year old (children lol) so obviously, their behavior is a bit of a nuisance.
Let me know your thoughts, or things to ask Vet ?
Thanks in advance!
