Chance is a three month old kitten recoverinh from Coccidia. He's been on Albon for three days so far, and receiving ointment on his swollen bum. He's still having diahrrea, being very restless and reclusive, and now he's peeing so much i have to change his litter box daily...it also smells horrific. I don't know what else to do for him. When i call his vet tomorrow, what should i do/say?

Poor Chance! He could also be suffering from an Urinary tract infection. A lot of animals who have diarrhea will develop an UTI. What happens in some poop may get on the tip of his penis and then the bacteria will ascend up the urethra and into the bladder causing an infection. The diarrhea may just need a little more time to resolve. When you call the vet tomorrow I would just see if they can recheck him to check his bladder and urine and also to make sure he isn't becoming dehydrated. I hope this helps!

Well, if the blood is in the urine- I would first suspect a urinary tract infection. If the blood is in the stool- he may have an intestinal parasite such as worms or coccidia. He could also have stress induced gastroenteritis, a bacterial infection or other GI.issues. Try to watch him in the box to see if it is from a bowel movement or bloody urine so you know what you are dealing with. I suspect that it is probably in his feces. You could then start out by having him examined and a fecal sample checked. I hope you get to the bottom of the mystery!

Poor guy. It sounds like he may have a really bad urinary tract infection and now has stress colitis due to the UTI being left untreated. He needs to see your local vet for a urine test and also a fecal check to ensure he doesn’t also have intestinal parasites. If he has an uncomplicated UTI then a short course of antibiotics should be able to clear things up. I hope Jojo feed better soon. Best of luck at the vet. Take care.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Shadow. I recommend that he sees a veterinarian. Blood in the stool is worrisome. Not making it to the litterbox indicates that he is experiencing urgency with his bowel movements. The veterinarian will examine him and likely test his feces. Based on these results, a treatment plan can be prescribed. I hope this information helps!
