Blood in the stool is an indication of a more serious health problem. If the cat or kitten has diarrhea in addition to the blood, you could have a life threatening problem on your hand that needs medical attention immediately!
Any of the following symptoms call for IMMEDIATE medical attention:
- Bloody: red blood in stool may indicate panleukepenia (distempter).
- Black: possible bleeding high in the bowel.
- Mucous: slimy substance may indicate severe bowel irritation.
- White: possible serious bowel infection. High risk of death.
- Orange: means there may be too much bile in stool.
- Yellow: is indicative of a bacterial imbalance in bowel.
As you can see from the list, blood in the stool can be a sign of panleukepenia (distemper). This is a very serious condition and every kitten showing blood in the stool should be taken to the vet ASAP.
