My cat may have just peed some blood. I'm stretched to my limit right now. Is there any possibility this isn't a big deal? Details inside.
Three hours ago I heard a noise and discovered that my large, adult male cat had somehow slipped off his sunny perch on my porch and fallen about 10 feet to the ground below. I didn't see it happen so I don't know if he landed on his feet or what. I went down there to pick him up and he seemed not hurt but baffled -- like, "Hey, I was asleep in the sun and then all of a sudden I was here."
I brought him inside. He's walking normally, sitting normally (not in "sick cat crouch") but does seem a little...tense.
He used the litter box once: and peering into it afterward I saw a few bright red drops of blood. Not a schmear, or a stream. Distinct, separate drops.
Later, he used the litter box again: a normal poop.
Later, he used the litter box again: one red drop.
I've examined the spots where he's been sitting inside the house -- no blood. So it's not, like, a scrape on his belly. He accepts my pets all over his body and doesn't appear to be in pain.
Getting him to the vet right now is a dicey proposition as I'm dealing with another big deal right now. Also, I strongly believe there has been no blood in the litter box prior to a couple of hours ago, so I don't think this is some older issue I'm just now noticing.
Any thoughts about what might be going on with him would be appreciated, or advice on how to proceed. |
