I do like slippery elm for these sort of things. Possibly homeopathic Nux
Vomica also. I was also wondering if it was an issue with the intestinal
bacteria, when the diet changed to raw food. I assume they just take time
to adjust.

I'm feeding her the Feline Futures Instincts TC supplement mix with ground
turkey from the health food store and ground turkey organs from Oma's. I
have to partially cook half of it now, and then mix in the raw, because
since I fed her cooked turkey after her fast she does not want totally raw
food anymore.
I do not know how much calcium is in the Feline Futures mix, or how much
psyllium. I have been giving her slippery elm, but maybe I should add some
fiber to the food as well.

Michelle,
That's great news that Lucy isn't constipated. It seems perfectly
reasonable to me that after not having a bowel movement for a few days,
and then with it being hard as well, that there might be some irritation
that would cause the blood. I would watch it closely though, this isn't
the first time she's had blood on her stool. I remember several kitties
on the IBD list having problems with constipation/hard stools after
being switched to the raw diet. I thought it might have been caused by
too much added calcium, but I know you were looking to avoid extra
calcium in Lucy's diet. What are you feeding her?
