uncertain. There may be many reasons why a cat may have blood in its poop, and coccidia is just one of the possibilities. Other possible causes of bloody stools in cats include digestive tract infections, enteritis, digestive system tumors, constipation, etc.

If your cat has blood in its stool, it is recommended to consult a veterinarian immediately for examination. Through a clinical examination and necessary laboratory tests, your veterinarian can determine the cause of your cat's bloody stool and determine the best treatment plan.
