Yep, my dps is of Germ enjoying some sun. Thanks for the links. Not sure if a diaper with hole for stool is quite what I'm looking for because I'm trying to find something that will cover his butthole after he goes poo. I cant tell from the pics if those cover the butt or not. I might just...

Also, no worries. Thanks for all your help and suggestions.

The bleeding started after the food change (from the shelter brand to American journey) and continued as I transitioned him to prescription food to present. He's been fully transitioned to prescription food from American Journey for about 2 weeks now. The vet said if it continues they wanted...

So a few weeks ago my cat started bleeding everytime he went poo. We've been to the vet SEVERAL times since then to try to figure out what's been going on and find a way treat the cause (you can refer to my other thread if you want the whole story and most recent updates on his treatments)...

Thanks for the input. The vet called a few hours after his appointment and said that she and the derm ruled out ringworm because when he was tested before it should've been picked up. He had a fecal when the bloody poops first started and it came back negative but I don't know if it tested for...

4/16 update on the situation Took Germ back to vet for follow up and it was disheartening to say the least. He's still very itchy and the antihistamines they prescribed were not helping. Zyrtec did not help either. A new lesion appeared on his inner ear and the vet is worried it may be...

I actually tried using chamomile tea for a bit about a week ago before we went to the vet. It didn't seem to help then but perhaps I'll try again since he started a new diet. I'm not sure of the brand, but the omega 3 comes in a capsule that you cut open and squeeze out. I was thinking...

I thought that it could he ear mites too, the vet checked his ears and didn't say anything about them though. He was also treated with revolution plus a few days ago. And of all the places I've caught him scratching, his head isn't one of them. :/ If they start looking worse, I'll probably...

Wasn't able to figure out how to edit the original post but wanted to post update on the situation. Shortly after I made the first post, Germ licked himself raw on his back (about a 4in. X 1 in. Area so fairly large). I took him to the vet the next day. The vet said it looked like an allergy...

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll hold off on the revolution until I get a clearer idea of what the problem might be. The shelter also treated him with frontline recentlyish :sickcat: I've been slowly transitioning him from hills science diet optimal care dry food(the food they used in shelter)...

Hi there, I'm a first time cat owner and I recently adopted an fiv+ kitty named Germ. The shelter said he's approximately 5 years old. It's been about two weeks and he's been adjusting well to his new home. He's recovering from an eye infection he had while he was in the shelter and also a...
