Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! He should be seen by a veterinarian if this continues so if it becomes a consistent finding or if it is also accompanied by diarrhea. Blood in the feces can be observed with conditions such as colitis, gastroenteritis, dietary indiscretion, intestinal parasites, among many other possibilities. If this continues, I recommend that you have Sami evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. They may choose to check for parasites and to start medications depending on the results. Good luck! Hoping for a speedy recovery!
