Iam writing this as I wait for my hubby to get home so I can take kitty to vet. He is pooping blood and crying the whole time he is doing it. I am so scared. I can't lose this cat. It will break my daughter's heart but I also can't spend a ton of money on it either. I can spare a couple hundred but other than that I am screwed. God everyone say a prayer. I am just so freaked . First time pet owner here so maybe I am over reacting I don't know i let you know when I get back Hubby is home.

Hi there Heather. Sorry your poor kitty is sick. When did she start acting sick? Could she have gotten into anything? My dog got pretty sick last year and was vomiting and she had diareha. She too had blood in her poop. My vet said that can happen when they get sick and in most cases it's nothing to be to worried about. I gave my dog kayopectaid. And rice made with chicken broth.
Good luck. I hope everything is ok! Let us know what you find out!

Poor baby...Your daughter is having a rough time, with her being sick and now her kitty. Has the kitten had any vaccinations? I had a cat do that, and he had feline leukemia. I hope that's not the case. Maybe he just ate something. My brother's cat ate a string (a wide shoelace about 12" long). She did the same thing until she finally passed it. Good luck and I'll be praying for you!

Thanks everyone for your thoughts and prayers.
Kitten is fine he has a tummy bug. They gave him some Antibiotics and some fluid. Told me to keep an eye on him and to follow up with my Vet on tuesday. 250 DOLLARS. YIKES
But it was worth it to know he is ok.
Thanks Again.

I'm glad to hear that you're kitten is okay and that it wasn't anything too serious 
I just wanted to mention the idea of pet insurance to you, I actually have it for my cat and it's been really great, mine is pretty affordable, and it covers a whole whack of stuff so you don't get stuck with big vet bills. I've got mine through Petcare Insurance, I'll add a link so you can check it out if you want: http://www.petcareinsurance.com/
