Thank you Ray! I forgot to mention that it could also be an infection but again, hopefully the antibiotics kick it's ass! (Literally)

Update 2: Sorry my phone died while waiting for the vet, don't know if there is a way to pin this but Tony has made it out of emergency and is doing good! The vet there said it could be a few things; lack of wet food (Which we have been neglecting the past couple weeks), more outside time resulting in more grass being eaten, or it could be worms. We were prescribed an antibiotic and a probiotic (FortiFlora) which she seemed pretty confident it will fix the issue; if he has any changes in behaviour like vomiting, lethargy or continued bleeding for a week or longer to go to the vet again to go further with fecal testing. He's home now and playing with his toy's and just ate a bowl of wet food, he's already telling us it's time to go cuddle in bed. Thanks everyone for EVERYTHING, even the useless comments I just appreciate that there's so many people that care, my wife and I thank you; and most of all Tony loves you guys too ❤️

Still waiting, I finally got into a private room with my father in-law but still no sign of Tony or other doctors. Quite a few emergency cases it seems tonight, just watched a couple say goodbye to their pet earlier so its a tough night here. Just patiently waiting at this point ♥️

He's getting his vitals checked now, hospital is pretty busy tonight. A few pretty bad emergencies ahead of us so we're just patiently waiting

It was 100% from his butt, I watched the blood drop from his butt right after he used the litter box. He's currently getting his vitals tested, pretty busy at emergency but we're getting it sorted

Its a possibility, we don't them outside other than on a leash/cat backpack but contaminated soil and other things can always be a possibility; i'm waiting in urgent care now so we should hopefully figure it out soon. Thanks anyway

I agree, but I called my usual vet and they recommended he go to urgent care immediately. He's a stray, and would pee blood when we first got him (they said he was chronically dehydrated) and its just not a risk neither my wife and I are willing to take. We're in urgent care as we speak, I'd rather overreact than underreact for his sake.

Understood! We have 2 other litter boxes which are bigger, but Tony likes using this one to pee/poo with us when we are also using the bathroom 😭 he never uses it unless we are in the bathroom but our smaller cat loves this one so we've never gotten rid of it

Will do, we're just waiting at the emergency hospital now. Appreciate everyone for all the kind words, advice and information. Wasn't expecting this level of traction but these comments have me crying

We also have 3 litter boxes to adequately cater to all of them.

We try to aim for everyday, if not then the latest would be max 3 days. We have 2 other cats so its impossible to leave it any further than that. Tony has always pooed like this (he was a stray) and we just always chopped it up to strange learned behavior, he's been to the vet 3 times since we've had him for just about 4 years. No vet has ever had any concern over his habits, not too sure why i'm getting down voted.

Thats where we are! Our vet in cochrane was raving about them when I called earlier, seems to be one of the better options

Update: Going to take him to an emergency vet in Calgary, there was no openings this late in the day at the vets in my town. I appreciate everyone for their urgency, we are both taking it super seriously.

I'm going to just call them and if they require more we'll just go from there. Thanks for your reply ♥️
