Why is my cat bleeding from his anus with no stool after vet visits?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Mediumhair | Male | neutered | 5 years and 1 month old | 12 lbs

This past month, he started passing frequent, semi-loose stools that were yellow in color. He also stopped eating and was regurgitating water. Soon, he was passing no stool, only blood and mucus. I have taken him to his regular vet several times, and he was given Albon, Mitranidazole initially, given an Xray, Ultra-Sound and bloodwork (twice), and then given steroids, an appetite stimulant, and two separate intensive enemas. Bleeding profusely out of his anus, passing tissue/blood only.

Poor Greg! It sounds like he has had a lot of testing and treatments with no response. You may want to ask about referral to an internal medicine specialist as the next step. Some other tests to consider might be a fecal PCR or culture, or tests for fungal disease depending on your area. Endoscopy to look in the colon and obtain biopsy samples might be an option with an internal medicine specialist as well. I hope you get some answers soon.
