[Felvtalk] Blood in Stool

[Lorrie]

Bob, I assume you've checked Yogi for parasites.  The fact that he
is losing weight and having soft bloody mucus could indicate IBD
Inflammatory Bowel Disease, I have a cat with this.  My cat, Sooty,
was on Metronidazole for two weeks, and now has to take prednisolone
every other day (transdermally) to keep this under control. He also
gets B-12 shots once a week.  I hope Yogi does not have this, as it
is not curable, only managable.  Sooty still enjoys life, but cannot
gain weight no matter how much he eats.
