Hi everyone -- my cat Millie is about 9 months and I adopted her about 3 months ago. Shortly after I first got her she was experiencing loose stool (not completely diarrhea) that soon developed small amounts of blood and mucus. The vet dewormed her again and was prescribed a medication for parasites. When that did not help, they did a stool sample and did not find anything. That's when we went for a diet change. The vet switched us to a prescription food and said that I should probably switch her to something else after finishing the bag. Her stool firmed up very quick! There were a couple times where her stool still had some blood, though.
After finishing the bag, I switched her to a new gastrointestinal food that seems to be working well. She's been on that for a couple weeks now. I hadn't seen any blood for several weeks and then this morning, there was the slightest trace of it. I will monitor it because I know it could've been a fluke or something she got into, but I am just worried that it is back again. Her stool looks completely healthy otherwise.
I have seen her scoot twice over the past week and a half and am wondering if there's something going on with her anal glands. The two times she did scoot, however, seemed to be because she had some leftover stool on her bum. If anyone has any ideas on what else this could be, please let me know...
