My male kitten got neutered 4 days ago and has had diarrhoea ever since sometimes with blood. Is this normal?

Hi! Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Although not normal, it is not terribly uncommon. It could be due to the anti-inflammatory/pain contro medications he was on or even stress from the procedure. Monitor him closely for now. If no improvement in the next day or so, have him evaluated by your veterinarian as anti-diarrhea medicationscan be startedat that time. Good luck!

Hello, thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Blood on the stool is not "normal" but I would not be concerned about this as long as long as it does not continue. If he keeps producing stools with blood on them and/or he is acting sick, then you need to take him to your vet for an exam.
