Small amount of blood after defecating

[aurum]

Wow, that really took some doing to finally figure this out. Makes total sense- it was so frustrating to keep putting her thru medications & their side effects. It's a very rare issue, & even if the tissue found isn't currently cancerous, it might still be best to remove it to prevent that possibility, or further abrasion that could cause a lot more bleeding suddenly (like if she swallowed a bit of something she couldn't digest, the bleeding might be severe from trying to pass it). You're a great owner for sticking with this to get to the bottom of the mystery, & to your vet also.

Thank you! And yes, it took a lot of trial and error and vet bills, but it's all worth it now. I'm honestly just glad it's something fixable--my vet has even performed this specific surgery before, so I'm pretty hopeful that everything will turn out alright. Another thing to be happy about this is that my vet cleared her to go back to her normal setup with loose substrate and decor, so she can get back to burrowing and climbing after all these months
