Walked into my cat (Shade's) room tonight to find her bum all wet. Took a sniff and smelled wrong. Took a wet wipe and it's blood. Wiped it all away, took pics and called my vet.
Yes, I have her home number.
Explained and then sent her pictures. She said...
"That is skin irritation around her rectum and can wait until tomorrow. We will have to shave and clean as well as do a rectal.
See you tomorrow."
I swear! Do they ever give us a break?!? I need for there NOT to be a freaking emergency for long enough to catch my breath!
She had been doing SO well too!
Her food change had some a dramatic turn around to suddenly no puddle poop anymore. She had 3 days of barely eating, but on the new food food a complete change and different eating plenty!
Then last night she peed on my son's bed (I now have to replaced the top 2 layers on his personal comfort bed at around 1k), pooped outside the box (solid but not constipated-dried out), and then tonight this! Bleeding and irritation from her bum.
My poor gal. She's already got a med heart murmur, IBD, & scl gi. I'm so afraid to ask... What next?
Just venting but thanks. I've got 10 with more than half with medical problems. It gets rough. Not just financially, but mentally.
