Hey folks,
A few months ago I had my kittens treated for a Camphylobacter infection. They seemed to respond well to treatment. Occasionally one of them will get a little diarrhoea, but this usually sorts itself out.
However, I've just noticed in the last few days that either one or both of them have started passing stools which seem quite firm, but they contain fresh blood and some mucous.
Their litter trays have always smelled pretty horrendous, (but then there really is nothing worse than the smell of cat sh*t, so I'm not sure this indicates anything out of the ordinary), but I've read on here about certain smelling cat stools can indicate certain infections (TF/Gardia).
Have any of your bengals experienced this problem of fresh blood/mucous in their stools?
I've recently cut down their food as apparently Simba is a bit overweight. Simba was neutered last week (with abdominal surgery for an undescended testicle) and Flick was speyed about a month ago. Apart from that there has been no changes. They were both deemed fit and healthy by the vet then.
Should I be putting in a sample for testing to the vet? £80+ is a fair amount of money to be paying out if this could just be a dietary issue that will just take time to suss out, so I'm keen to read your experiences of this.
I guess I may have to separate the kittens for a day or so to find out which one/or if both of them are experiencing this problem.
Cheers,
