Why is my cat peeing small drops in the litter box after worming?

Poor guy. This sounds a bit more than just a bladder worm (very rare) and simple colitis. He could have a bleeding disorder (coagulopathy). I would recommend taking him back to the vet asap for a recheck and testing to see if he has a blood clotting abnormality (PT/PTT/ACT test and baseline bloodwork). He also may need radiographs to get a complete picture of his overall health status. When a cat decides to refuse food it is usually a serious illness that needs immediate medical attention in order to have any chance of turning things around. I hope that you get to the bottom of Portifoy's illness soon. Best wishes and take care.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Lumi! If Lumi is only passing small amounts of urine he could have cystitis (bladder inflammation), crystals in his urine, bladder stones or even a UTI. Since Lumi is a male cat he has the risk of obstructing and not being able to urinate at all. A urinary obstruction is life threatening. I recommend that he see a Vet today to relieve his discomfort and prevent it from worsening. I hope this helps and I wish Lumi the best!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This depends largely on if you are referring to drops of blood after defecating or urinating. If it is after defecating, this can be observed with conditions such as colitis, gastroenteritis, dietary indiscretion, intestinal parasites, among many other possibilities. I recommend that you have Rocky evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. They may choose to check for parasites and to start medications depending on the results. Good luck! Hoping for a speedy recovery!

The only thing that can look like rice on a cat's anus is tapeworms, the treatment is very simple and you should stop seeing those a few days after the treatment was given. If she is not going to the litter box she is probably having a more serious problem, unless she has access to the outside in that case she might be doing her business there.

It would be best that Luke sees a vet, as the peeing on the bed could be due to a UTI or bladder stones. Those both require treatment than can only be prescribed by a vet. I would take him into the vet in the morning, and bring along a sample of his feces for the vet to examine to determine what type of worms he has so he can be prescribed the appropriate deworming treatment. The vet can also diagnose why he is peeing on the bed, and can prescribe him treatment for it.

Pixie's litter box habits sound quite frustrating! Most cases of cats defecating outside of the litter box are due to behavioral causes. However, since Pixie had an irritated anus when you adopted her, she may have been having difficulty urinating in the litter box due to worms or anal gland issues. Make sure her vet has checked a stool sample for the presence of parasites and possibly performed a rectal exam to check her anal glands. Consider adding an extra litter box, changing the litter type, and adding or removing a litter box hood. Calming pheromone collars or diffusers (Feliway is one example) can be beneficial in some cases. If you have further questions or concerns, feel free to request a consultation and we can discuss this problem in more detail.

Poor guy. He likely has a urinary tract infection or cystitis (inflamed bladder usually due to stress). I would recommend taking him to your vet for a urine test to determine which is present so that he is treated appropriately. As long as he is otherwise acting normal and able to urinate at will, then it isn't considered an emergency at this point. Getting him seen on Monday or the day after should be ok. It is likely he will be prescribed antibiotics and/or a prescription diet to treat this successfully. I hope that Milo gets better soon. Best wishes and take care.
