Something is wrong with Oliver

[Denyce]

Keep in mind that fresh red bright blood indicates it is not from the digestive system but from the mucous membranes in the intestine. This is much better. It could be that he has a crystal or something which is causing a lot of irritation in his bladder and urinary tract which is just upsetting his whole digestive system and causing the small intestine to spasm more which then is irritated and can bleed easily. Or he just had a hard, large bowel movement which tore the membrane a bit and it bled. I don't think you said whether the stool was hard or soft.

It is when the blood is dark and makes the stool very dark and "tarry" and stanky that you panic more. Then it is from the GI system.

Prayers for your sweet boy and I hope he is feeling better soon.

The blood is bright red and the stool is "standard issue", so you are correct in that it is coming from the lower intestine or rectum area. When he had the infection he had crystals, but they disappeared after a month of antibiotics and the vet didn't see anything last week when she looked.

I don't think that it is IBD, because one of the other cats (Tanner) has IBD so I converted everyone's diet over to something he could he (it saves on the hassle factor).

The vet still has not phoned, but I also know that she does surgery in the mornings so it may depend on when she finishes everything before I can talk with her.
