I adopted Mel (1 year old domestic short hair) in April from a reputable shelter. He has had pudding like stools tinged with bright red blood from day one and horrible gas all the time. His vaccinations are up to date and had a physical.His stool samples are negative for parasites. He runs, play and drinks normally. He does have quite an appetite, but refuses to eat rabbit/venison canned food recommended by the vet. He gets one packet of vet prescribed probiotic sprinkled on his food daily with no change in stool.
