Alright, this will be a lot. My American bobtail, Bean, is 6 years old. She turned 6 July 26th.
!!warning, will have photos of poop!!
I'll start with what's concerning me today, and get into the rest in a bit...
Today, Bean used the litter box and immediately after raced around the house. She'd gotten some stool stuck in her fluff and was very upset about it, which isn't unusual but she hasn't had an 'accident' since she was a kitten. Her poop was a very weird, pale, slimy like poop that smelled absolutely awful. It also seemed a bit runny near the end. Recently, she's not been active or playing at all. I can barely get her to play and she used to play everyday. Now, she just spends her time sleeping on a box next to me. I noticed a few days ago some weird fur around her hips/sides of her 'nub' (her bobtail, if you will) her fur was coarse and seemed like it was a mat, so I obviously wanted to get rid of it, but when I was messing with it trying to figure out what it may be she got extremely upset like I'd hurt her. I'm wondering if she has possible issues with her hips or if it really is just a mat. Her appetite is fine, though, she doesn't come and beg for food or greet me at the door for dinner when I get home (I go outside for about 2 hours a day everyday, when I get inside she eats dinner) she eats, but isn't enthusiastic like she used to be. Could she have kidney problems? What would cause poops of this color?
June 6th Bean had a completely unexplained petit Mal seizure. Does anyone know of anything that causes these seziures more then grand Mal or does it not matter? (Like, if she were to ingest something toxic is it more likely she'd have a grand Mal rather then petit Mal?)
I've been desperately trying to get her into a specialist, but in the meantime I'd like to know others thoughts or opinions.
