6 month old loose stools and now blood in them?
Hiya I've had cats many many years but this is really confusing me as I've never come across it before with any of my cats/kittens
My 6 month old Mikeo has from day one has rather gassy smelly farts and never had what I would call a formed poop? He has always has a loose poop the only way to describe it is like a cow pat lol Now today I have noticed it also now has blood in it like it's aggravating his bowel possibly? He still is his usual self eating drinking playing ect and is quite heavier than the other kitten who is 5 weeks younger but the same height and body size His mum is a micro cat so that maybe why he is the same size as a younger cat He has a mixed diet of Felix as good as it looks flakes meat and perina one kitten biscuits He was on go cat biscuits with Felix but I've changed them as I know some cats are lactose intollorent and go cat contains milk He is wormed monthly with advocate and also has worming syrup to irradiate worms the advocate doesn't kill Thinking back to when I first got him at 12 weeks old he would go for a pooh and I'd have to wash his bottom as it would be wet with poop because he wouldn't lift his bottom up so sat in it But now he is better at going but still has sloppy stools 4 months on? I asked the vets but they said just to worm regular and as long as he is growing normal/eating/drinking/correct weight there's nothing to worry about I've been looking up on the Internet and found there's a possibility he may have some parasite The other kitten who is 5 weeks younger called Jaspa is constantly greedy and often pushes Mikeo out the way of his food so I have to separate them to enable Mikeo to get his food I live in the UK so I have to buy foods available here I've tried him on whiskers but that makes his flatulance worse and stools looser He often pinches the adults meat & biscuits they have adult Felix & adult perina one Even though there fed behind a closed door away from the kittens he shoots out as soon as the door is opened and makes a beeline for what ever they have left behind He came from an in bread household they have or had 13 cats all inter-related eg mum pregnant to her dad/brother/son ect Not a very good thing I know but the vet gave him a good checking and said he was fine He is a beautiful all black cat with bright yellow eyes and gorgeous temperament If you offer him a cat snack he takes gentle off you and never begs unlike Jaspa my rescue kitten who will grab stuff from your plate if gets the chance! it's something I can sort with Mikeo with help of you all Any ideas are welcome Many thanx Tina |
