Question about my kitty

[Mycatownsme]

Hi everyone!
I am new here.
I have a 7 month old kitty named smokey. Lately I have been noticing SMALL amounts of blood in his stool, Which my vet said was not something to be concerned about. Just about 15 minutes ago however IUnoticed a small bit of blood on my white carpet...Remebering seeing a small drop the other day I became concerned, thinking he had injured his paw pad or something to that effect. I went to clean the litter box and his stool was normal (as usual) with a small amount of blood on the outside. Concerned the blood on the carpet was from him, I check his anal area. There was a streak of blood (I would say 1tsp) On his anus and surrounding fur. After wiping the blood A little bit more (1-4 drops) was there about 2 minutes later. I can tell this is not an anal prolapse, But I am not really sure what to do or think. He is acting completely normal and wants to play right now! He is eating, drinking and seems to be his normal self.
however, I am EXTREMELY concerned.
Is this somethign he should be taken to the emergency vet for now?
I just checked his anal area and it is free of blood.
Please help!

I would say not an emergency vet - but a DIFFERENT vet.

When I first got my kitty Cole, he had the same thing, and just a touch of diarrhea.

I took some of his stool into the vet to get checked. The tests showed such s SMALL increase in a certain bacteria that they wouldn't treat it - unless he was showing symptoms.

He was - so a pill a day for five days, and he has been just fine ever since!

I'd put some of your kitty's poop in a baggie, take it to the vet's, and tell the technician you want it tested.

Stupid Vet! It's BLOOD!

Go for it.

GET ANOTHER VET.

Duh! Sometimes we know more than they do. You don't ignore blood in the stool.

I agree with Catty1. Not the ER vet, but another. Take in a stool sample for testing.

I absolutely agree with the previous posts!!! Get a stool sample and go to ANOTHER vet!!! Your kitty could have a coccida!!! Keep up posted please!!! GOOD LUCK!

Blood is not supposed to be in the stool. Your vet needs to be replaced. Find another one, good grief!

I agree, there's no place for Blood there and you should replace your vet or get a second opinion.
