Blood in stool and now it is gone?
The past two days I found blood in my stool. It was not very much at all. Most of it was on the toilet paper and was a bright red, very very little was actually on the bowel. Today, though, there was no blood at all. My question is, what could it have been and is it something I still should get checked out? I really did not have any other symptoms besides little itching so my thought was hemorrhoids. Now that there was no blood found today is this still a cause for concern or is it just something I should keep an eye on for a few days?
I found blood in my male cats poop!?
i have an 8 month old male cat who ive had about a month now. he adjusted to us extremely well, like hes been here all his life. we have never had any problems with him eating or using the litter box ever. he had a vet checkup about a month ago and everything was great! his poop has always been fine also, normal. ok so theres kind of a history. he likes to sleep in our room, in bed with us at night. well last night, and im not sure what time, one of my kids came in and ended up shutting the door behind them so max (our cat) was stuck in our room. well i woke up this morning and he has pooped on the floor in our bathroom. it was quite a bit too. now the first part of it was normal looking, all solid but then there was some runny poop with mucousy(sp?) blood in it. does this sound like something i need to worry about or was it because he was locked in and tried holding it? his litter box is not in our room!

Red or Maroon or Black According to Dr. Dennis Lee of Medicine.net.com, the color of your stool, and whether the blood is bright red or black, depends on the origin of the bleeding in your GI tract. The closer the site of the bleeding to your rectum, the brighter the red of the blood in your stool. Blood from the sigmoid colon, the anus and rectum tends to be bright red. Blood from the tranverse colon and right colon tends to be dark red or even maroon in color. Melena If your stool is black and tarry this could be the result of iron supplements or even food poisoning or it can be an indication that bleeding has occurred in the upper gastrointestinal tract. Black, tarry stool is called melena. It is sticky and foul smelling. Melena happens when blood exists in the colon long enough for the bacteria in the colon to break down the blood into hematin, which is a chemical that is black in color. Black stool is an indicator that you may have bleeding ulcers in the stomach or bleeding ulcers in the duodenum, or small intestine. Because of the location of the bleed, the blood is in your GI tract for a long period of time before it exits your body in a bowel movement. However, blood that originates in the rectum or sigmoid colon isn't in your system long enough to be turned black by bacteria, according to Medicinenet.com Considerations According to Mothernature.com, diverticulitis can cause significant rectal bleeding because it is a hemorrhage. Diverticulitis is defined as a weakened spot in the wall of the colon, which can bleed. According to Barry Jaffin, M.D., who is a specialist in gastrointestinal motility disorders and a clinical instructor in the Department of Gastroenterology at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City, another cause of blood in the stool is inflammatory bowel disease. This is a digestive disorder and is painful. Causes Bloody stool can be caused by hemorrhoids, a peptic ulcer, Crohn's disease, anal cancer or an anal fissure, colon cancer or colon cancer, just to name a few, according to the Mayo Clinic.
