Blood by litterbox

Nola · 07-14-2005, 12:41 AM

After my cat Beaux exited the litterbox, I noticed a small spot of blood outside it. There was no blood in the stool inside the box. He is eating/drinking/acting normal. Should I be worried about this?

I would just keep a very close eye on Beaux and see if you notice any more blood spots. Keep an eye on your flooring and where he lays down. Did you check his paws and legs to make sure he wasn't injured? If you notice any more bloodspots then if he were my cat I'd take him right to the vet. I hope he is ok!

When my Barley had blood it came from the little amount of pee he was able to make.
Check to make sure he can pee normal.
He had stones/crystals in his penis.
Very dangerous if untreated.
He was on meds for 2 weeks.

We also had to change his food.

I had the exact thing happen when I first got Socks. I am a hysterical mama so we went straight to the vet and it ended up being sensitive stomach so we had her on A/D for a while and then back to regular food. I donno about you but for me blood = vet.

Oh, good! I'm so glad to hear it! Thanks for the update. We haven't seen any more blood with Binx, either.
