Blood in cat stool: vet’s guide to signs, causes, and treatment

There are many reasons why you might find blood in your cat’s stool, including cancer, pancreatitis, worms, and constipation. As this could indicate a serious health condition, it’s always recommended to seek advice from your vet – no matter how much blood is present.

The color, consistency, and quantity can vary, and you might also notice other symptoms, such as your cat not eating, losing weight, or having accidents outside the litter box. However, sometimes this may be the only sign you notice, making it tricky to pinpoint the cause.
