My cat has bloody diarrhea. Should I feed her or give pumpkin tonight?

Poor Milo. This diarrhea could be caused by dietary indiscretion, a stomach illness, eating something rotten, or a foreign body among other causes. The concern here is blood in his stool. You can feed him his canned food, but I strongly recommend you take him into a vet now to get this treated. The vet can diagnose what is causing his bloody diarrhea and can treat him. Please take him into a vet immediately. Best of luck.

I would monitor Button for now, and keep an eye on her feces. If you see blood again, then yes I would take her into a vet. Her GI tract could have become irritated with the diarrhea, causing the blood in the feces. Should it be a one off occurrence, and she is eating normally with no more diarrhea, she does not require a vet visit.

Poor kitten! I think you're in the right for trying to get in sooner to have her checked out by your vet. If she is bleeding a lot or is having severe diarrhea or vomiting, then seeking out care from another vet or even an emergency clinic may be a good idea. Keeping her bottom clean and dry can help, and feeding a bland meal of some boiled chicken may help as well until you can be seen.

Hello, if you have only noted a single blood clot, then this can wait to see her veterinarian in the morning. If she develops active bleeding, diarrhea, vomiting, or decreased appetite overnight then you should see your ER veterinarian tonight. Hope this helps and best of luck.

As long as Savannah is playing, eating, and does not have a fever, your veterinarian will probably be comfortable giving her vaccines tomorrow. If they have any concern about her not being up for the vaccines they will certainly let you know. Try to bring a fresh fecal sample with you to the appointment so she can be tested for fecal parasites. Fecal parasites are very common and the leading cause of diarrhea in very young puppies and kittens. I hope she's feeling better (and not leaving skid marks!) soon.

Oh my goodness, Gerdou is absolutely beautiful! Yes, it is typically recommended to not feed a cat for a period of time when they are suffering from diarrhea. It allows their stomach to settle, and then a bland diet is introduced after this period of starving. For a 56 day old kitten, I wouldn't withhold food for more than 12 hours. After this time period, feed Gerdou a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in her normal diet. Hopefully she feels better soon, but have her seen by the vet again if the diarrhea continues on the bland diet.

I would recommend you take your cat to the vet on Monday. They can do a fecal examination to rule out intestinal parasites and possibly an X-ray to rule out a blockage/foreign body. Your vet can also give you some medication to help stop the diarrhea. If the diarrhea becomes bloody and/or your cat starts vomiting as well then I would recommend getting him in to an ER vet to make sure nothing too serious is going on.
