Blood in my cats' litter box?

Question

I was giving my cat a bath the other day and after I dried him off a bit myself, I left him in the shower to continue to dry out with some food and water, and when I came back, there was some blood near the drain... that was this past Thursday... I thought nothing of it and thought he had maybe tried to jump out and accidentally cut himself a little (he was fine when I got him out from the shower). Well, today I just got home from a 2 day trip to Monterey, CA, and I went to replace the litter in my 3 cats' litter box and there was blood in it. I'm a little worried... what could it be? I have a feeling it's coming from my male (the one I bathed on Thursday).

I'm thinking I should wait it out a few days and keep checking the litter, and if there's any more blood I'll take him to the vet.

So yes, my question is, what is the blood likely coming from? It looked like it came out of a urethra and not an a**s because the blood was near urine and not f***s.

Answer 1

Well has she eaten any bones of any sort if not when was the last time you wormed them they could be spreading a parasite back and forth to each other its common when you have multiples sharing the same litter box my guess is it sounds like worms

Answer 2

Give milk and water both

Answer 3

vet.

Answer 4

how long ago did u fix you cats? if it was within a few weeks maybe the vet just messed up a little. probably nothing to worry about. if it you fixed you cat a long time ago(ie. a few months or more ago) then he could have some disease. but the most likely thing in my view is that he/she got a bruise and has a little internal bleading that came out close to the a**s.

Answer 5

The blood may be caused by a urinary tract infection (UTI) that needs to be taken care of promptly before it causes kidney damage. ( if it is coming from the urethra. If it is rectal blood, intestinal distress, infection or worms can cause this. With either case, both cats need to see the vet ASAP. ( don't wait on this one) Best wishes.
