My cat is sick, bleeding from her rear, and lethargic. What's wrong?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | American Bobtail | Female | spayed | 4 years and 4 months old | 15 lbs

My cat is looking sick and has been gone for a day now and I finally called her and she came back but before she left she pooped or threw up with blood in the bathtub and then when she came back her butthole was all bloody and so is the fur below it and now she looks sick and it looks like all her energy is drained.

Pets with profuse bleeding from the rectum and/or vomiting blood need to be examined by the veterinarian quickly. This bleeding can indicate serious conditions like a ruptured tumor or hollow organ, severe parasites, liver failure or poisoning. Jasmine needs to be examined by the veterinarian quickly. Best of luck.
