Why is my cat's rectum red with pus and bloody diarrhea?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | 20 lbs

My cats, rectum was more red then usual, squeezing out puss and blood like fluid, bubble, fart lime motion was, happening and looked like a slight bit of something was coming out. She also did a runny poo right where she was sitting and it took her a while, then she just sat back down in it. She had been slow, and like not moving all afternoon. So what do you think is wrong and what should I so? Cheers Ash

With so many symptoms I recommend a vet check as soon as possible - it sounds like he has developed a severe diarrhea/colitis and fecal incontinence and he requires urgent treatment. In the meantime offer a bland diet of boiled chicken or fish and a probiotic supplement such as fortiflora
