Why is my kitten lethargic, uncoordinated, and has bloody stool?

Question

My kitten has blood in her stool, is slightly uncoordinated and isnt eating or playing much. I haven't changed her diet from the previous owner. She hasn't used the litter box much either. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 5 lbs

Dr. Strydom, DVM · Accepted Answer

The most common reason for a kitten/young cat to have diarrhea (especially with blood in it) is intestinal parasites, namely coccidia. I suggest you have your vet do a fecal test on her. Coccidia is not treated with general dewormers; it needs a special medication. ( http://www.pethealthnetwork.com/cat-health/cat-diseases-conditions-a-z/coccidiosis-cats )
