Cat has poop on fur. Is she at risk for a UTI? What are the symptoms?

Blood in the urine can be due to a few different problems. If it is red-colored urine and Lily has been urinating more frequently lately, then it is most likely a bladder infection/inflammation, but could also be a kidney infection. If it appears like fresh blood at the end of the urine stream, then this could indicate a problem with the vagina, cervix, or could be coming from the rectum. Either way, it's best that you take Lily to a veterinarian for treatment soon. If she is going to the litter box and nothing is coming out within the last 24 hours, then this is an emergency and I recommend you take her to the vet immediately. They will be able to locate where the problem is and provide the most appropriate treatment. Either way, Lily will need a professional to diagnose this problem and to provide the most effective treatment. Without good treatment, she can have life-threatening complications. I hope that helps and Lily gets better soon.

Blood drops from flea poop would be very very tiny. Blood drops from a UTI would be b igger, but you would likely see them in the cat litter as well and your kitty would like make a fuss in the box, going frequently but only producing little urine every time. Your kitty could also have a bleeding mouth ulcer, bad gingivitis or teeth, lost a canine tooth and it is now bleeding, or could be bleeding from the nose. I suggest you have a look in her mouth, (gently). If she lost a tooth,, you likely will not have to do anything unless it broke off. If you see sores, or your kitty has a bad smell from her mouth, you need to take her to the vet for an exam. If she appears to have a UTI, then she needs to be examined by a vet also.

The mouth problem is not related to the urinary infection and it's not likely to be related to the antibiotic shot either, you should take her back to your vet to get it checked and treated, she might be suffering from gum inflammation.

It may be related to the recent stress of the infection or medications that were given. I would just keep an eye on it. If it continues for 24-48 hours or if Chibi develops additional symptoms, such as poor appetite or lethargy, I would definitely have him re-examined by the vet.

Frankie could be suffering from feline idiopathic cystitis, which is more common in cats than a UTI. It’s always worth a check with the vet with any health concerns, and I would take her it one in the next few days. I hope this helps!

Hi there! That stool appears within the realm of normal. It does look a touch dry, so I'd monitor the cats for any signs of constipation and make sure they're both defecating regularly (at least once daily) and eating well. But I suspect it's normal. :-)

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Harley Quinn. Yes, it is possible that she has developed a urinary tract infection. I recommend that she sees her veterinarian again to have a urine sample tested. I hope this information helps!
