Thank you!!
1 and 1/2 year old cat stated scooting a month ago. Expensive trip to the vet determined he is healthy and I’m going crazy 🫣
Brilliant video.
Thanks 🙏
I just got home the vet. Let me tell you a ruptured anal gland is very scary. The abscess has to be cleared of neurotic tissue. And left a huge whole of which my vet wasn’t worried about. She said it will heal. So sad I’ve never had this problem before with any of my cats. I just hope she’s okay and this issue doesn’t return. And from what I can tell it could be a returning issue.
How old is your cat. Mine us 8. She had A nal Sack Surgery about 8 months ago. Something I knew NOTHING about. She also was sent home with a gapping hole. That stupid cone thing, unfortunately, I believe it it starting again. Have a vet apt. tomorrow at 10am. This time I had an idea what to look for, but even this vet says once it happens they should be regularly checked every few months.
Just dealing with this myself with our 10 year old neutered male cat. The other cats are fine, once of which is his sister.
This issue hasn’t returned but I have seen my cat licking the area. I actually expressed her anal glands and that seemed to help the issue and she stopped licking after a few days. I always keep an eye on her and look for any signs of redness or irritation. Licking is the first sign there may be a problem. But like all cats they often hide when they are experiencing discomfort. That’s what happened last time she was hiding under the bed and came out with blood all over the place. It broke my heart. But so far thankfully she has been okay.
@@leelulady2010 , I’m not sure as I’ve not visited the Vet as I believed the problem was going to or am hoping resolves itself. I noticed the brother cat age 7 yrs scooting and immediately checked his backside. He had very crusty looking bum bum hole which I couldn’t believe I didn’t notice. We are very close that he sleeps and sits with me when I’m home which was presently in the evening, now daily as I’m in between jobs. So I wanted his bum and cleaned him up and tried to squeeze the anal glands that I barely could feel. He excreted very very little and the smell was overpowering but he’s like our child so I only feel sadness for him and wasn’t offended in the least. He wasn’t happy but I noticed the next day his car box shared only with his sister as containing several flat patty type anal glands type poops, large patties. It thought we were good. Today I noticed more crusting and he’s still slightly more lethargic and he’s sensitive of me looking. That said I will again wash and pay dry his behind and keep watch for resolution. After that I will take him to the vets as it’s $160 for the visit only but only want the best for Preston who’s our love, my oldest’s cat and such a affectionate boy. Any information is great, as his glands were not felt so I worried it might not be that but the smell is unmistakable. Maybe where he’s a good 16 lbs things are just off? Idk. Pls help anyone in helping me understand, as a long retired Vet Technician we rarely saw cats with this ailment and if there was one, it was obvious his or her problems. Ty♥️🐱♥️🐱♥️
@@AshleyKarys honestly if you’re giving a bath to them even your dogs you can do this with a glove I usually do this during a grooming time. I went to a small animal grooming school they taught us about this, the groomers can do it if you can’t.
My cat has being doing it some. Not very often but she does it. Should I be worried ?
Thanks!
can someone help me with this issue?
My vet gave my cat a months worth of probiotics, it has not helped and the cat is still having blood around the rectum, I have only had him for a year and I just don’t know what to do.
I have a 3yr old exotic shorthair and he smells like a skunk what can I do? This is body oder
ty so much
you're welcome!
Stress with cats can cause this problem I have this problem with my cat,she does not like other animals at all infection leaking out of the glands every 2 mouths she goes threw this just antibiotic treatment will clear her up but we go threw this on a monthly basis, it's very stressful
I came home, called in my 10year old for a brushing, and noticed a huge hole next to her anus. I though she had been bitten by our dog.Had no idea this was an issue with cats. An emergency trip to the vet, and $500 later, they squirted some saline in it, and sent her home.i am glad I had her treated, but was pretty expensive for a 10 minute visit, with no surgery, stiches, or medication.
Like money 💸💰 more than animals 🐱 🐕
That's insanely overpriced - I noticed my cat had a bit of stink and asked the vet during today's annual - $55 for the annual visit and $51 for the expression -- it was a 4 cat visit with blood panel as well, so costs were a bit higher total but the anal gland expression was cheap
Dude you got scammed. They gave us anti-biotics and it was only a $150 visit.
@@angelagold9833 I just hope you don't have any as you shouldn't. No offense
i think it might have costed a bit more for you because it was a blown up anal glad oppose to just a full anal gland which is easier to treat, but even then yeah that was extremely too overpriced for just some salt in a wound
My cats poop is normal but her glands are swollen. Then when you look at her glands they have little tiny pieces of dry poop stuck to the gland. So I started her on GlandX
Thank goodness I didn't have this problem with either of my cats because there is no way I could do it.
there's a much easier way to do it actually, u just gotta flip the cat and hold it in your arms and grab all 4 legs with the hand on the arm that hold the cat, then caress it's hind legs and viola secretion come out, wipe or wash afterwards. No pinching, no harming the cat. simple
I have two cats. My older I have always dealt with his glands for him and it works well. My younger has never had issues. Super flat glands. He just turned 7 in august and I recently noticed his left gland was pea sized. I have tried expressing, like I do with his brother, but nothing. Until today, I got some out and it was very light coloured but very waxy. Should I keep an eye on it or is this something that we need to deal with at vets asap? He didn’t seem in pain while I pressed, just not comfortable/ doesn’t love his bum hole touched lol.
My cat is leaking poop while sleeping and walking… 😢😢 pls tell me what to do
@Our Pets Help there is some sort of gunk coming out of the top of my cats head. She isn't acting strange but she is an outside cat and maybe she cut herself off of something
That’s not a lot of information. Is this gunk yellow or white and/or thick? *Is it coming with a foul odor? Is it coming from a wound?* if you answer these questions with a yes it would be in your cat’s interest to schedule in a visit with the vet. Outdoor cats are kind of prone to getting infections and injury. You don’t want to let it get worse if that’s the case.
Mine had fluid coming out of a wound behind her ear once that progressed into an abscess without us knowing immediately. Similar story months later with her foot. Antibiotics and potential stitches. If possible I’d really *really* encourage you not to let your cat outdoors without any supervision. Best of luck!
not one COMMENT about metemucil use UHG .
My cat spontaneously releases hers. Drives me nuts. If she gets over affectionate or super scared. There they go. Spray right out of her ass. Stinks. Have to put a blanket down to cuddle cause they just release and stink up the house. Weird. Ive heard a few other with this. I dont like it but not much we can do.
I’m tearing up laughing! My cat Mochi does this, a number of times she’s misfired when I picked her up and I went from 🤯😳😨😱🤢
Gosh it reeks...
My cat does it too, when he gets happy 🤢 it’s not a build up or infection more like he’s getting excited and it leaks.
OMG my cat does this too. I was wondering if it was backed up and making them more likely to do it, like if they had it "expressed" by a vet or someone who knows how, would they do it less?
What do y’all use to get rid of the smell off furniture and off of their fur???
@@speedskater5613 mine had a release today when she was scared by the dog. I used an animal dry shampoo to get the smell off her. Not 100% but so much better
My 5 year old house cat started scooting yesterday.
Occasionally the past few weeks he’s leaked clear fluid that smells so foul and strong.
His stools are solid and normal so that’s something but he does get a bit grumpy with me when I pet him.
I want to take him to the vet to have it looked at in the next few days. I really hope I’ve caught it soon enough for there to be no issues. 🤞🏻
How can you treat it after it’s been drained from a ruptured anal sac. Also my cat has diarrhea now and there is blood in it. Going back to the vet but any advice would be great.
My cat had been constipated for a while and the vet flushed her out. But now her medicine is out shes struggling again to go. Like shell fuss at the litter tray, going in and out , the looks like she does go but it's small lumps.... not a usual cat stool .... and shes been "scooting" as you call it. She just doesn't look at all comfortable. Do you think it might be the glands? If I relieve that will she be more comfortable to go? I mean I checked her bum and where the glands should be it looked like blackheads like the spots.
It could be, but it could be recurrent constipation which I talk about here - ruclips.net/video/TwpQf-BhjMo/видео.html
My cat discharg clear liquide from ass is this thing bad or normal plz tell me i am very worried and i cant do any thing plz
My cat is having the same problem can u plz help me?
Just noticed my cat has what looks like a cut & loss of fur near her bottom, around the 8 o clock mark. She’s eating, drinking, going out & showing no signs of being unwell or pain. I panic so much and I’ve been on Google & it mentioned about anal glands. I did wonder if it could be an abscess but I don’t see any lump or pus coming out of it. She had an abscess a couple of months ago on her mouth (lower lip) but looks different to that. Hope this makes sense & your able to offer me some advice.
Hey! My cat is having similar symptoms as you described, she's licking her butt and some loss of fur in that area too but she's acting normal at the same time. I wonder what happened to your cat later on, did you bring her to a vet for this issue? Did you get treatment for it?
@@elainguo3339 How's your cat? Mine's experiencing the same.
I’m having this problem with my cat, seen 4 different vets at the same practise and one thought it was gastric, 2 thought cystitis and the last vet I saw squeezed one of her anal glands and said he may need to squeeze the other at a later date. I don’t know why he didn’t do both then, I’ve spent £600 already, not one test has been done, she’s on gabapentin catease and an anti-inflammatory when she comes off the meds she’s back to the litter trays, I’m starting to lose hope in my vets
Any updates?
My cat needs to go every 2 months. They always do both glands.
I've noticed lately when I pick up my female cat 3 years old just got her in Feb and when I pick her up she is expressing a foul smelling odor and when I look it up it says anal glands leaking. a trip to the vet is needed. I recommend to anyone not to get a pet if you can't afford pet care. I didn't really want a pet for that reason but our older cat passed away and the economy was doing good at the time and now I just will have a hard time affording vet care for such a young cat
it's really sad when you don't have the finances for such things, I feel you.
My vet only charges $30 to drain their glands during their visit. Do you need help with that $30 because I will help. I just had to take my baby in for an infected gland and it was awful the pain he was in.
I had to take my 6 year old cat to the vet 3 days ago, they expressed his anal gland and gave him a Convenia injection because they said there was an infection, the sack ruptured and a lot of think brown discharge came out, he is lethargic and doesn’t want to eat, not sure if it’s the side effects of Convenia or if it’s the infection. The brown discharge keeps happening every few hours. I’m not sure if this is normal.
He should be feeling better with the convenia so I wonder if there isn't something else that needs doing like flushing out the infected glands. I'd recommend giving your vet a follow up call. I hope your cat's feeling better soon
hi sir is this serious condition? how can i treat that coz theres a street cat in our compound i just feed them but i feel so petty this kitten coz she have this typ of sickness 😟
How’s your cat doing today?
I have a 3 month old rescue kitten and he is grooming/licking his butt excessively and his butt has started to leak when he is walking around or standing. He has had some diarrhea for a few days but is otherwise acting okay besides pain at the rear when I clean him. I live in Mexico so normal things in the US aren't available here and most vets are not that good. Any idea on what to do? I can travel to the states once a week if needed.
I would still suggest getting a check over with your vet as I would hope they'd at least be able to check for and deal with less complicated conditions which the majority of problems are. I hope he's on the road to recovery very soon
@@OurPetsHealth Thanks for your input, he got prescribed two antibiotics today and seems to be doing better. Hopefully he'll be running around like a normal kitten soon.
@@amaziiin Can you tell what the issue was and how was it resolved?
@Silenttreatment44 I believe the issue was that his rear was irritated and inflamed from an infection. The antibiotics seemed to help, along with me keeping a very close eye on him so that he would leave his rear alone. Unfortunately, he passed a few months later due to other issues.
@@amaziiin I'm so sorry to hear that :(
my cat is losing fur around the anal area n it's irritated to him with what looks like raw red irritation what could this be ?? im worried
How is your cat now ?
How is your cat now & did you find out what it was?? Just asking as my cat has the exact same symptoms at the moment.
My cat has had six anal gland ruptures, within 7 months. He has had one abscess repair, and now my vet and I are discussing anal gland removal surgery.
Super worried. I just want his quality of life to be better...
But, it's so conflicting. The risks, or inconvenience. Will he really be happier, will he have less infections and issues, will this be worse? Better?
Beside myself, anxious, and scared. He's 14. Anesthesia, healing, possible issues.
Wish this was never a thing. 😭
Sending you and your kitty lots of love. I think you answered your own question in your comment. Trust your instincts 💝
At 14 I'd say it's safe to say to have him euthanized. I know it's hard but pets that age don't handle surgery well
@@Willowtree82
....My cat ended up having the anal gland surgery, and has actually been doing fantastic. I would never put him down if there was a chance of survival. What a shame it would have been. He's acting like a kitten again.
I really want it to be removed from 11 month old kitten because it’s getting bad and gets everywhere. She has had it since I got her 7 months ago. She goes to the vet next month for her 1 year shots so I’m definitely asking them about it.
@@Willowtree82 14 is not that old for cats, be can live so much longer
My cat just had a ruptured anal gland. And he still is having diarrhea and recently bloody diarrhea. Trying to get him back to the vet.
17:45 pm. My kittens but hole is swollen. Its not red, its regular pink in colour. Should I be concerned?
My kitten has this to now and she stinks how is yours doing
pls help me my cat got constipated for 1 week now.i dont know what to do.im poor the vet is very expensive and bcause of the pandemic i connot go out.
IS UR CAT OK??
My cat is suffering that right now, how is your cat right now? How did you do it? How did you treat it?
You can give small amounts of mirlax in cats food
i really need help... my cat is having pee problems,
there are some white liquid leaking and She is really bothered
idk what to do , it keeps leaking 😢😫
I would call the vet sounds. Like she could have an urinary tract infection.
you need to talk to your vet I'm afraid. It sounds like there is a problem that needs to be seen
yes, i bought my cat to the vet yesterday, And they are now finding the reason why my cat having pee problems😊
thank you , ✨
my cat did this for the first time today. when she got up there was a hair hanging from her butt. do u think that was the cause? is this something to worry about? should i get her wet food
Sounds like she is over grooming. My cat is an obsessive groomer, only she gets rid out it from the other end. They make hairball treatment food, which I dont think has any effect on the problem, i give my cat a thorough brushing with an expensive, but very good brush, and it has helped alot, I still sometimes crawl into bed and find a cold, wet, lump of half digested food, and hair.
Mike D thank u!!
@@miked9000 week after week ♥ but our love will be known to God all of our "eternal" lives. ♥
if fiber is added to the diet and fluids arent increased.....this will cause constipation.....concerning🤔
thank you
Lord bless you
Can a heart murmur cause it, I took her to a vet and that was the “reason” but now it’s really swollen and we don’t know what to do.
no, a heart murmur and anal gland issue isn't going to be linked
Our Pets Health I had a feeling they were missing something because we brought her in because she was acting different. Like if she jumped on my lap but fell off and didn’t poop and cleaned her butt a-lot more. I went with mom but we had to be in the car because of covid. I kept trying to bring up checking her back legs. They said their was no problem. Just gave her an enema and said sometimes heart murmur can cause constipation. Can you please tell me if what they did was a reasonable mistake or too much. Because tbh I really want to bring her somewhere else. Mom only went because that’s where we got her as a kitten. My cats 10 and I’m scared they’ll recommend something bad for her if we go to the same place. We cried coming back home bc we thought she was gonna die soon, but now I feel like I’ve been tricked.
@@DistantClover I'm so sorry they ignored it. As far as I understand, extracting the excess liquid from the glands is a common procedure and will help prevent an inflammation. Maybe make an appointment with another vet specifically for checking and relieving the glands?
Last night I had to take my cat to the vet since the gland had become inflamed, she is alright now, doctor said she won't need a surgery, but still if I only had noticed the signs and taken her in earlier, the whole process would have been a lot more pleasant. I have no idea how long has she been suffering, since she had been acting very unusual (lethargic, licking her backend) only the last couple days.
Have a 4 month old cat, idk if he constantly passes gas or if this is the problem?
I have a 6 month old and I was wondering the same thing! Random rank farts or?? We just got her a few days ago tho and are feeding her new food bc apparently they fed her on donations at the shelter so I’m wondering if she is just gassy due to the new food / nerves of new environment
@@Oomphie33 I switched his food from meow mix to the iams brand and have had no issues since
Please sir tell mee how i do my cat in a day 4 time still shinking 2 mins i am crying to see her like this shes just one week old please slove my PROBLEM 🙏🙏😭
I’m sorry but I don’t understand your question
?
My 1 week cat have this I don't know what to do
Go to the vet. My cat had to get her anal glands expressed & they only charged me $12 ..
My one cat decided to express his anal glands on the back of my other cat today… not sure how it happened but that was an unpleasant thing to find out when I went to pet my cat. 🤢
My condolences. 🥲
I need help my cat just had anal gland expression done on the 25th of September the treatment was also started but the cat has not got better yet it's 15th of October and the cat has started scooting again I don't know what to do there is a lot of tensions please tell me what should I do so that my cat gets completely cured
Maybe they didn’t express it all out on the25th ofSept and needs to have it done again. 😮
Can you help me? My cat has a yellow liquid coming out from his bum. She is not feeling well. She have a fevee ans no appetite to eat nor drink
he needs to see a vet
How is your cat doing now?
GO TO THE VET! What’s wrong with you people.
Hi guys! My cat is just pregnant that time. I just didnt notice it because I though she never go out. Sorry to worry you all
I think my cat has anus gland problem, but i can’t get her checked to a vet cuz i have no money pls tell me what to do on my own
She’s dead.
My 13 year old cat went to the emergency vet 2 nights ago with what looked like a hole in her!! I was freaking out and they said one of her anal glands ruptured. I had no idea. She is on pain pills and a antibiotic. Any advice for not getting litter stuck in her wound when she uses the litter box? Or any other tips in general? I am so worried
you could try just using some shredded paper. If it does get stuck then just clean gently with some warm water. It should heal pretty quickly now you've started treatment
I took mine it just this morning thus why I’m watching the videos. I noticed bloody by her pooper lastnight and emailed the vet. They gave me pain pills and an anti inflammatory. Unfortunately i couldn’t afford the $600 sedation and treatment. Hoping for the best too here with the medication.
@@lucillesinclair7715 Can I ask how your cat 🐈 is doing now. ?.
Can you please help me my cat have anal gland problem and i can't bring him to vet. because there no vet. here. What should i do?
Please help me
Give your cat a product called glandex with soft food and that will help
My tuxedo’s bowl movements are always coated with this - it looks like - albumin. His 💩 always really stinks! Also, he almost never buries it. 🤢🤢🤢
Mine too. Does that mean she needs it done?
I’d ask a vet first.
Sounds like he has insecurities about his territory. Are there other animals in the house or yard?
Also does he have a large area to roam and plenty of cat toys and things that are just his that have only his scent on? Those things help immensely.
My cat emits a stinky musk when she jumps onto my lap. Is she marking me as her territory?
Could be a leaking anal gland.
my cat has been having issues with his bum, second time in 6 months and now Im worried this will be an issue for life :(
Yes I have to take my cat every2 to 3 months to have her anal gland expressed. I get her nails trimmed at the same visit.
Why the frick is my cat rubbing her butt on the floor like a dog
she's in heat
Get her to the net now! It can be a list of things.
Here for that too.
@@granthamilton2918 what does in heat means?
Worms?
My vet says that my cat bum smells because she's anxious in a new environment and her shall glands produce it when she doesn't defecate. I never had it with any other cats. When touching the glands aren't big it anything. I guess I'm stuck with a smelly cat. It didn't smell like poop, but rather rotten egg. It's bad when she climbs me I gag
Haah sorry im laughing have this to since i switched food and she has dhiarrhea ye rotten eggs is a good way to describe it. Did anythung help
How's your kitty doing?
My cat has developed missing patches of Fur on all over body scabs and and her anal gland is protruding what do I do?
Take your cat to the vet to get checked out. In my city, the 24-hr vet is a great resource - you can call them and ask for advice!
Thanks
Cat needs a vet love
My cat sits down like a human usually to lick her bum, but today I've noticed she's attempted this alot and would stop and instead lay back on her side.. she had some dried stool also on her bottom stuck to her fur, which I managed to get off, was very difficult, I added some pumpkin to her wet food today, hoping that helps, because she's been throwing up quite abit as well. Right now just monitoring her while I'm off.
One of our cats has had a 💩 butt for years. She’s over weight. I have to clean it daily. Washing everything also. I’m so exhausted!
Don’t give up! That cat loves you for taking care of her
I think if your kitty is overweight, he/she definitely needs to lose weight, for health reasons too. I know this, as my cat is a big overweight ginger cat. Garfield is slim compared to my Atlas..
I have the same issue.
Can.you.please put a subtitle
There is

For my cat it was food allergies that gave her a chronic infected anal glands. Chicken was a big culprit, even though she loved eating it!
What is that allergies how to cure that
Interesting, maybe I should look into getting my kitty an allergy test.
Last night I rushed my cat to the vet because "there is a hole in him". I didn't know what it was and I'm still shocked. I've never heard of this before and his behavior, very mellow, had not changed at all over the weeks. He's on meds and resting now. Poor kitty.
Is there anyway to make him more comfortable during this healing process?
It's surprising how quickly the right medication improves comfort. Otherwise, making food, water, and litter trays really easy to access can help
The same thing happened to my cat last night!! We rushed to the emergency vet. Having a hard time when she used the litter box to stop getting the litter stuck in the wound😔 I hate this for her!
Please my cat to has a hole what anti biotic are you. Using please answer me
@@marcgamatero5863 The vet will have a stronger antibiotic than any over the counter. If cat is dirty, give bath, make sure all the litter and pus and poop and all are off of the wound, cut the fur back around the wound so you can see it clearly, do not shave, because you don't want infected hair follicles, but trim it down to where you can see skin and get it clean. I then apply Neosporin CREAM, NOT the clear, vaseline-looking stuff, the white stuff. Keep an eye on the cat, try to keep him from licking it all off, but know that he will try to lick it off. EACH TIME When he pees or poops, CLEAN him or her with a wet wipe (baby wet wipe) OR depending how messy, a brief bath. then RE-apply the Neosporin. This is until you can get them to the Vet. Then the Veterinarian will probably express the gland, sew them back up or whatever needs done and send you home with more instructions.
Hello mister. Please help. There is a small young, not grown up, feral kitten in front my building. She is very fearful and i cant get to catch her. She does come near me and gets to eat and drink.
I think she has this problem, i noticed today she has red swollen or enlarged anus or some kind of growth there, not really sure what is it, cant examine it close. Cat seems to be fine for now, not crying in pain and similar, she is licking it sometimes. My question is, is there a chance this will resolve on its own? I cant catch her and also vets here are weak, i dont trust them and also i would have to wait couple of days when i will have money to pay them. Neighbor is feeding her small fishes now, sardines i think, she is eating. I have put water there. Any advice you could give me, what to give her, what to avoid, anything? thanks
Do you have any rescue charities who could help catch and then care for her?
@@OurPetsHealth Will try with my girl friends to catch her and then over Facebook seek someone who could take her, we did this with an injured cat two weeks ago. IDK why i was putting these stupid questions for you, sir. I really want this cat to heal. Is there anything else i could do? Probably not...Thank you for your reply.
Look up glandex and think about putting that in her food if no one can rescue her
Thanks. The cat is well now, got better naturally, also not afraid of me anymore, praise be to Allauh.

Elm bark powder in wet food
My cat is now only 5.4 pounds. She is literally skin and bone. She does have a history of hyperthyroidism now new ones said CKD but the biggest problem is she is secreting oily secretions from the anus. She has a greasy appearance almost all the time and after bathing and within two days, she is oily again she eats all day long and she’s not getting any weight and she does have large stools she had Giardia and was treated for it now her test is coming back negative. beside myself, I just don’t know what to do. I want to see if I can help her gain weight. She is starting to get a little picky where she wants to be eating all the time but not necessarily what I’ve been given her.
Is she being treated for her thyroid disease?
@@OurPetsHealth yes she is being treated for her thyroid disease and it has been out of whack, but her most recent lab says that she is at the high end of the normal now but she still continues to have a vivacious appetite and her weight is low she also treated for Giardia and her last test came back normal. I think they are suspecting possible pancreas but the test would require her to fast for 12 to 16 and the doctor says she would be fine but having kidney disease and all her problems I wouldn’t want her to fast for hours. I think she’s barely on, but she looks happy. Otherwise she purrs when petted would really like her to gain some weight
She has had her thyroid out of whack for while and she’s not developed this appetite until I would say since March that’s when she had three urinary track infections and it put her immediately into kidney disease. Her creatinine was 4 and bun 52 phosphorous a hi normal. Her liver enzymes were also elevated so I started giving her a supplement that has milk thistle Sam E. And dandelion she doesn’t really like it so I can’t get very much into her and her food. I think I might have to just try the milk thistle separate.
Sorry for all the typos Siri isn’t cooperating
Aim for treatment is for t4 levels to be low normal so sounds like change in dose is needed. Vet might want to check with lab as pancreatitis testing doesn't normally require fasting
My cat butt scoots and sprays the couch, is he sick or just gross?
worth getting a check over at the very least I'd say
Our Pets Health Thank you!
I need advice!!
So my 1 year old boy cat has had diarreah for 2 weeks, I gave him some canned pumpkin yesterday, and now his butt is leaking and his anus looks red and swollen.
He isnt acting inordinate but it worries me that it may become worse and I unfortunately dont have vet money 😢 2 weeks ago we bought cat food that had dog food mixed in it.
if your cat is otherwise happy and well, eating and drinking with no vomiting then try feeding a bland diet of blended chicken and rice or pasta, also make sure he is up to date with worming. If that doesn't help, or your cat is at all unwell then he really needs to see a vet. Simple diarrhoea will generally clear up without treatment in a few days.
If his bum is sore then cleaning it then applying petroleum jelly or a barrier cream like sudacrem can help protect the skin from further scalding
@@OurPetsHealth I'll try that thank you so much for replying!!
@@JxRocs how is ur cat now? My 1.5yr old male cat has red swelling anus n i cn see loose stool on it..also last week i saw tapeworm near his anus .any help pls.
my cat is having the same problem Idk what to do
How is your cat now
I'm worried about my cat now. Because she is overweight and constantly has a lil poop on her bum. I'm always having to clean her I think she's too fat to properly clean herself. She's been on a diet that's been vet recommend but she barely has lost weight in the 6 months. I'm still sticking to the diet but lately she has become excessive with trying to lick the poo off of herself. (poor girl is never successful lol) and she also will scoot her bottom on rugs and furniture occasionally to try to get it off 🤢
(I never overfed her or anything btw she is a rescue, she came overweight and has since been put on a diet so I'm trying to get her sorted out)
Another thing worth mentioning is she's never covered her poo although I am not sure if that's an alpha issue or not because she was around other cats prior to me. Her poo is always kinda slimy looking soft serve for the most part. Although some days it's regular and firm.
Make sure you get her tested for worms and parasites. Try having her backend groomed. It will make it easier for her (and you) to keep clean.
My cat has this EXACT issue. Did you ever get a handle on it what was the outcome?
My two months old kitten, had repeated Diarrhea, her anus was swollen initially and it has now turned black, what can I do about it?
she will need to see someone who can help locally, If an area turns black it can be serious
The black color has subsided, but she still continues to defecate loose stools sometimes, went to the vet at least 4 times, they say it’s gastric irritation
I’m taking my poor rescue kitty to the vet tomorrow .....because it’s not going away
Hope the vet visit gets them on the road to recovery
Thank you😍 ....her stitches will come out this Friday 🐕😺hopefully vet will be happy with the healing process
Did it cost you much?
KAIs wife ♡ no .... I went to a cat clinic .....she only charged me about 130 dollars total including meds
Pennyless Try not to worry ......my kitty was better after I took her to vet ...and she had to wear a cone around her neck for 2 weeks with just a little medication ...she’s doing great today 😀
My cat's butt produces yellow fluid and she cant stop meowing,,, also there's no vet near here. Help meeee!!😭
Google a vet nearest to you, and sort it out. what the hell is wrong with you
I have a 13 year old cat who has had chronic anal gland problems almost her whole life because, I'm convinced, when she broke her pelvis bad and shattered a hind leg in her youth, her hips are now off kilter and she doesn't drain properly. She's had BAD abscesses, to the point that one side now has so much scar tissue it actually doesn't clog anymore. But, I have to get her expressed every 16-18 weeks or she clogs up again. It's so annoying. She's got constipation issues, not doo-doo that's too soft.
My kitten has an anal. Infections😭😭😭😭I want to save his life.
Is this harmful to humans ?
Only if your cat scratches/bites you when checking/trying to express them!
Yes, our cats had the anal glands surgery
How are your cats doing?
@@ronaldkrikorian4712 I made a mistake by typing cats. It is only one of our cats. She is doing much better, but I am worried it will happen again. I want to know if there are any preventive methods.
@@joannrector6762 You have to get a good veterinarian that knows what they’re doing or else the cat suffers
I'm glad my cat doesn't have that
How to treat anal gland disease in cat
horrible angle my man
Yep, gave up on this way of filming my podcast pretty quickly! It's all part of the learning curve!!
Who’s eating dinner right now yummy
I am genuinely terrified at the amount of pet owners in the comments asking to get medical advice for serious issues with their animals that should have been seen by their own vets in person already. A RUclips channel can’t physically examine your cat’s strange, oozing wound or poop worms, let alone give out treatments! Please schedule the visit!
Have called our regular vet +5 others. Earliest available appointment is a week away so obviously we're looking for ways to treat and make her more comfortable in the meantime.
What makes you think we aren't doing both? Assuming makes an ass out of u and me.
@@lucindajohnson1264 i have the same problem right now 😭 idk what to do, I just adopted a kitten
Not everyone is financially stable enough to just take their pet to the vet. Gosh a lot of people can’t even afford their own healthcare!
EXACTLY what I was thinking!!!
Your microphone setup that you have in front of your face is so annoying I like to see who is talking to me who is letting me know this information but that damn microphone is a eyesore I'm only one and a half minutes in the video and I can't watch it anymore and you're getting a thumbs down
Yep, I haven't had this set up for a long time now. Shame it's a thumbs down when all I'm trying to do is help pet owners
Daaaaaamn
youre dramatic, he’s helping people with pet problems he’s not trying to fit your need of “seeing who you’re talking to” grow up. it’s an informational video.
