I am desperate to save my cat
. We have been dealing with blood and mucus in stool, diarrhea, and her leaving presents on our carpet. We have 2 cats, but have had them both since 2009. We have 2 litter boxes in different rooms in the basement, she only poops on the floor in the basement (sometimes its the carpeted areas sometimes is the concrete floor) (sometime she hides it behind the couch and other times its left in the middle of the floor). She always urinates in her litterbox. She poops in her litter box maybe 25% of the time and that goes in waves. We have done multiple blood panels, fecal samples and everything comes back normal. We have treated her for Giardia as a precaution, she has been on multiple antibiotics, and now steroids...nothing seems to help her. We have tried a hypo allergenic diet, gastrointestinal, high fiber, high protein (Science hills ZD, EN, Royal Canin gastrointestinal and hypo allergenic diets) She is now on a high protein no grain diet Natures Instincts, steroids, and a probiotic--and its still not helping. This is all over a 5 year span. The vet recently also tried an anti-diareahal , this didn't help either. We have tried different kinds of cat litter, adding more boxes, moving boxes around, different types of boxes-covered, uncovered, deep, shallow etc...We have seen 5 vets (2 feline specialist, 2 regular vets, and an internist). I truly think its something medically wrong with her. I have attached a picture of her "normal stool"--which I don't think is so normal. We recently did an ultrasound on her...preliminary results were normal, we are still waiting on the final report. I just feel like a bad cat mom because I cant figure out what's wrong with my first fur baby
.
Any ideas you have would be appreciated...I know the vet said out next step would be an endoscopy if we choose to go that route which is $7900!! We cannot afford that. I feel like we are headed down a euthanization path if we cant get this solved. We have a 17mo old and we cannot have her pooping all over the floor, its not safe.
Thanks in advance
We recently just spent $700 on an ultrasound and it came back with no findings...I feel like I am at a loss....I don't know what else to do!
