I noticed my 4.5 year old male Java was having irregularly shaped poop (almost like half sized normal ones or squished small droppings). Doing some research I thought maybe he needed more hay and water, but then I noticed blood spots on the fleece under his little house. I checked his bottom and it looked like poop was stuck in his anus and seemed bloody. I took a q-tip and gently cleaned out his anus. What came out was some short-stringy looking poop and some poop clumps. I put him down and noticed about 30 minutes later that there was some poop under his house that looked like what I had taken out, meaning he was passing it himself? He also seems to smell, or his stool does, but a bad poop smell almost.
But when I examined him again it seemed like the tip of his penis also had blood. I'm going to the vet first thing in the morning, but want to know if this is something I should probably do tonight or take him for an emergency visit? I thought it might be a stone or UTI with the blood on his penis, but would the irregular dropping/impaction be part of it or something else? Could this be impaction or something worse? He is drinking and eating, but definitely doesn't seem normal. I recently added him as a friend to my other male gp, so at first I thought the behavior was due change of environment, but both gp's have gotten along fine after the initial introductions. Any advice greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
