I am handraising a kitten he isn't even 2 weeks yet but he is thriving, however he passed a small amount of blood in his poo, does anyone know what would cause this and is it very serious?

My kitten did this, get him to the vet and he will give him something, although at 2 weeks he might be too young for any injections. Ours was about 6 to 7 weeks old when it happened.
If it's the same as ours did, once treated it will last for a week or so after treatment, getting less and less. Try not to worry, when we phoned the vet about this he assured us that as long as the kitten was otherwise healthy there was no need to panic. We were given worming paste (that tastes of chicken apparently) and had to squeeze it into his mouth and make him swallow it and that lasted for about 5 days.
That kitten is now 18 months and full of life.
Hope all turns out well, I'm sure it will.

Get this kitten to a vet, right this moment, and that i propose desirable this minute. Small kits consume each and every style of peculiar issues, basically like young little ones do, yet any passing of blood is something desperately serious. If this little cat is approximately 6 weeks old, the flea and computer virus drugs would have been too sturdy and eroded his intestines- he's desperately ill and desires help like an hour in the past. very sturdy success to you the two.

I had that happen to my male cat. We took him to the vet who would not even look at the cat unless $150 cash was paid first. We were told that by the receptionist, It turned out OK, because we took him to a much kinder vet whom we still go to. The cat had apparently eaten a mouse and a bone probably punctured his intestine. Never let a cat eat chicken bones either. Hope it works out for you.

As he is so young I would say take him to the vet and get him checked out - it could be worm related but might be something more serious. Play it safe.

There's nothing normal about blood in faeces so your kitten requires veterinary attention. It's poorly.

You should be asking your vet this question honey - he can examine your kitten, which we can't, and he has the training and experience to know. Don't leave it - it may or may not be something nasty. if it is, the sooner it's dealt with the better. Good luck

this could be from mum i.e a small cut on the mums teat whilst kitten is suckling it takes in the blood and then passes it out.No worries unless any of them look poorly.Hope this helps
