Greetings,
We have a British Longhair female cat (Angel) that is almost 4 years old. About two weeks ago, she had a loose stool episode on the carpeted dining room floor. The very next day, she had another episode again on the dining room floor near the first one. The second time it was the healthy tootsie roll kind which is her normal. Then it was a third the next day.
We took her to the vet and her stool sample was clear. They told us since her litter box is upstairs to keep her confined to the second floor for a few days hoping she goes back in the litter box. Well, she did fine for a few days and used her box everytime
Yesturday we let her have roam of the house again, and wouldn't you know it, another elimination in the dining room!!
At this point she is NOT urinating on the floor and using her litter box for that. We have sprayed the area where she has "pooped" with the enzyme cleaner like we are supposed to.
Her diet has not changed and there have been no new changes in the household. No new cat litter as well (we use pure pine pellets)
One thing of note. Angel hurt her paw while playing (about 2 months ago) and has developed a bit of a limp. The vet has taken x-rays and feels that it is just inflamation. He also said the area needs to be watched so that it does not grow (hopefully not a tumor or anything) The vet gave her a shot of anti-inflamation medication which only helped for about a week. He said the shot is only a one time thing because cats don't handle this type of medicine very well. He has suggested a 1/4 of baby aspirn 3 times a week for two weeks which we are doing, however, it does not seem to help her any.
We are beginning to worry a bit about her health even though the vet said she appears to be in good health.
We have noticed that she is pretty much her normal self, but has been sleeping a bit more lately.
ANy input or suggestions would be a great help!
Thanks!
