Blood In Stool, But Doesn't Seem Sick?

[sweetblackpaws]

My sweet girl of 8 years had blood in her stool - sort of bright, not dark red. I had been seeing this for a few days, but with 3 cats, I wasn't sure who it was.

Her stool was on the runnier side, but not so much that I would call it diahreah.

I sometimes wipe her butt because she is overweight and it is hard for her to reach back there. Maybe I was too rough?

Her appetite and behavior seem normal.

I would take her into the vet. Blood in the stool can indicate any number of digestional issues. While it can be related to many non emergency causes, that you've seen it for several days makes me worry that it is something that needs attention.

Please, yes. Vet check. While many of the possible causes are simple, and a quick fix, some are far more serious. Whatever the cause, the sooner you know for sure, the better off she will be!

I contacted the vet and the tech said to bring in a fresh sample. I hope she is okay.

Hopefully all is well, please let us know how it goes.
