My cat had perfect stools on Monday, then they got softer, then tonight he has been having diarrhoea. I'm taking him to the vet tomorrow ASAP.
I noticed that in his last couple of diarrhoea droppings, there were long and thin black lines (about 3-4) in his poop. They weren't moving, and they don't look like flea larvae (was longer than that). What on earth is this? I'm panicking, especially because we have been dealing with Giardia for the past 3 months and now this sudden change of stool and strange symptom is making me breakdown.
Our other cat has soft stools as well, but he hasn't pooped since I have been home so I don't know if he also has those "thin black lines" either.
I took a sample with one of those black things, and will take it to the vet tomorrow. Also, does it make sense to refrigerate my samples to make them fresher?? I had no sample casings, so I had to wrap it in plastic.
