  • This is the best answer I’ve seen. Basically the color tells you where the bleed is occurring. On/near the surface will be bright red and indicate likely fissures or hemorrhoids, while dark red to black color indicates a bleed further up the digestive tract which can be something much more serious.

    Apparently doctors get asked this A LOT and a little red blood when you wipe is very normal. However, best thing to do is talk to your doctor to be on the safe side


  • My heart goes out to you and I’ve seen this happen to my friends cat before. If I’m not mistaken, it’s almost exclusively male cats that are affected due to their urethral anatomy and stress tends to cause the onset of the inflammation. It is very life threatening without treatment, but the cat will live a normal healthy life after the surgery otherwise. You did the right thing taking your baby to the vet right away and saved his life, I hope you get the help and support you need to help him with this procedure ❤️
