Re: [Felvtalk] Blood in Stool

Strange how this works, I was just coming to ask about the use of metronidazole in FeLV+ cats. It has been given to me for possible liver issues (in concert with amoxicillin) so I looked it up. From; http://www.vetfolio.com/internal-medicine/feline-cholangiohepatitiscomes "Metronidazole should be considered because of its immunomodulatory properties."which gives me pause with a cat who already has a compromised immune system.Thoughts?Margo and Mako -Original Message-

My 1 yr old ( Yogi) whose life has been one problem after another is now 
showing bloody mucus in his stool which is now becoming soft as well Had 
him to the Vet and he just completed a 10 day round of Flagyl... 
I'm already spending a fair amount with the Prednisolone Acetate he needs to 
keep his Uveitis at bay and 300 bucks later ( with an Xray) it does not look at 
though he has any blockages... Anyone have any experience with this ?? Any 
relatively benign possible reasons ( really hoping it is not severe autoimmune 
bowel disorder) This poor little guy has a lot going on for a young cat 
also losing weight BUT...acting energetic, appetite is good and he's even 
playing a bit despite being half blind.. 

thanks,
