    Things to watch for
    # Bright red blood in the feces
    # Straining to defecate
    # Increased number of bowel movements produced
    # Possibly no other clinical signs
    # Possibly other systemic signs of illness, such as excessive drinking, urinating, vomiting and diarrhea, lethargy, poor appetite, weight loss
    
    # Diagnostic Tests
    
    # Rectal examination
    # Complete blood count (CBC)
    # Biochemical profile
    # Urinalysis
    # Fecal examination
    # Coagulation profile
    # Abdominal X-rays (radiographs)
    # Abdominal ultrasound
    # Colonoscopy

    Premal Darji Numerous infectious agents may result in hematochezia. These include viral infections such as panleukopenia, bacterial infections such as Salmonella, protozoal agents such as coccidiosis, and intestinal parasites such as hookworms and roundworms.

    Premal Darji Dietary allergy to certain food substances, such as to particular proteins, lactose, high fat content, and certain food additives may also cause colitis with hematochezia.

    OK :)
    Not infectious for sure
    Cat looks like healthy no abnormal finding on physical exam today I got a call that there is no blood
    would Anal gland inflammation cause this as I emptied the gland and it was very pasty !!!
    or is the Anal gland inflammation secondary to another primary problem
    
    BTW no PU/PD
