My kitten has bloody diarrhea after deworming. Is home treatment safe?

Question

I have a kitten that has been having really soft watery poo ( diarrhea ) for about a week. so i started his worming yesterday by giving him 1/4 of a drontal tablet. However today i found some blood in the litter box and on the floor as he rubbed and dragged his but on it. Can this be sorted at home please answer me honestly and fast because i am concerned.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This really depends on a lot of factors. It depends on how much blood Tiger may be losing and if this is truly from diarrhea being caused by the parasites. If a diagnosis of parasites was established and you are giving the deworming as instructed by a veterinarian then it would be reasonable to see if this was just a one time episode of bloody stool and to have him examined if it continues. However, if a diagnosis has not been established by a veterinarian, I think it would be best to have a veterinarian look at Tiger as this diarrhea and bloody stools may be unrelated to parasites in which case it is not going to improve with the dewormer. Good luck and have a great day!
