| It is very possible that intestinal parasites may have gone undetected
in the previous check. Try not to worry, they will get to the bottom
of this.
My sister had a cat that had chronic colitis. That cat had blood
in her stool all the time. They finally figured out that it was
related to her diet. She is fine now.

| Sounds like it could be coccidia - I went through the same thing
with Stitch when he was about 10 weeks old - there was blood everywhere
when I went to clean the box in the morning - his tummy was also
bloated - Dr. Scott got him on medication and he was just fine almost
immediately.

| can't say I had this problem with my cats, but did with my dog.
She looked and ate well, but had picked up a parasite and had
developed a colitis condition as well. Like you, I was in a panic.
She was put on medication for a week and all is a-okay now.

| Hi Valerie,
Loki has blood in his stool every so often, especially when his
stool is loose. His vet said that sometimes the straining involved
with a loose stool/diarrhea can cause some bleeding. I know I've had
tht happen to me too.
I was told as long as the blood was fresh, it wasn't anything
really serious (of course it should be checked, but it isn't life-
threatening as dried blood {internal bleeding} would be).

| Thanks for all the info. I have an appointment on Friday with the vet.
I do think her belly is awfully big for a little kitten so I'll have
her checked for worms. Well I'm not in a state of panic anymore. I
never knew how common it was. So I'll just relax and take it easy..
Thanks guys and gals for all your help..
You've never let me down yet...

| re: missing parasites in the stool.
Several months ago when I learned to associate the "round belly"
that I saw in the weymouth commons kitties with roundworm, I took
a stool sample from Jesse to the vet to be checked for worms. It
came back clean which i found impossible to believe. Jesse very
obediently threw up two round worms the following morning!
