Hi, My pet Milo is a 6 year old Male Cat. He is eating well and drinking but his poop is soft, smelly and a little blood. He is given Revolution monthly and is vaccinated. Any idea?

Sometimes it can be diet related for example if you've changed his food it just may take a bit of time to agree with him. It could also be due to a bacterial infection. If it has only happened once or twice or if you have changed the food recently then I would just monitor it. If it has been going on for several days and you haven't changed the food then you should take him to your vet. If you are able to take a sample of the faeces too that may help with diagnosis. Good luck!
