One of my kittens has been havin blood around its bum after a poo, its been seen by the vet and he said it sounds like collitis.
Hes wormed up to date, doesnt have diarrhea or any other symptoms, has any one else experienced this?
thanks jen

If it is colitis, it may not be anything to worry about. Acute colitis is actually quite common in cats. It arrives for a short time, and no other signs of illness are present.

If you notice any weight loss, loss of appetite or depression go straight to the vet.

Don't worry if there is an episode of vomiting. Vomiting will only be a concern if it is repeated.

Hi Thanks, hes fine in himself, no weight loss or any thing, it doesnt seem to happen with every poo just every so often.

Hi

I have had a this with cats a couple of times and it was never anything to worry about. Sometimes it can be caused by straining too hard or passing a particularly big poo As long as there are no other symptoms, it is generally nothing to worry about!
