5. He hasn't x-rayed, yet

When he took a really good, close look he said it's obviously NOT a prolapse issue, it's 'exterior' swollen tissue. The fecal sample came back clean of blood, worms or parasites. He said he is stumped but wouldn't disagree about it being an allergy. I'll keep an eye on him and document what I feed him and if there's any reaction. Arthur's behavior, litter box and eating habits haven't changed at all but I'm determined, with the help of my vet, to figure this out.

I finally managed to find some kibble that doesn't contain any sea food. A lot of dry cat food seems to be out of stock, everywhere.
