Inflammation of the Rectum and Anus in Cats

He gets poo on the bed when he sits i dont think he means to cause hes still using his litter box his poop is runny and he licks his butt quite often along with his genitals he did get into some peanut m&ms that were in a baggy in our room so I assumed thats what caused this I am very worried

my kitten has worms and ive been treating it for a while now and i havent seen worms come out but her butt sometime will come out looking prolapsed but its not blooding and i dont know what to do i cant take her to vet cause i have no money is there a good medicine to recommend if a parasite is causing this

I found throw up with papertowel in it. Also my cat has a poopy mess under his tail and s little clump of papertowel sticking out of his sphincter. It’s obviously bothering him because I have found a few little poop smears where he has wiped his butt on the ground. He is not dehydrated yet and is plenty spunky, but quite irritated with me every time I try to lift his tail to either clean up his poopy mess and when I touched the clump of papertowel sticking out. I’m wondering if I should pull it out? I don’t want to hurt him or tear something. Any advice?

My kitten has an inflamed anus, bloated stomach, and has had diarrhea for a couple days now, is this something to go away with time or will the kitten die soon??

She is licks down in her hole several times in the day . It seems slightly swollen and pink when she sits in an area for a while she will leave a small wet spot but I’m unsure if it’s from the licking.She doesn’t cry or show any sight of discomfort.She is a momma and we are waiting to get her spayed in about 1 month when Blue(her baby) turns 7 months.

My 3 & a half month old kitten has a sore bum. He's had a bout of diarrhea no blood or worms. I'm withholding food for 48 hours just introducing a little bit of rice and wet food then gradually will reintroduce his dry food. Hoping this will work but right now his bum is very sore and I need to know is there anything I can put on it? The baby which baby is that

She won’t stop biting her butt. And when she stands up, her back is hunched over, she runs in a circle and starts to bite a lt the spot she was sitting at. There was diarrhea in my room this morning, but I assumed it was the dog, now I’m starting to think this is another symptom.

10 yr old neutered Male cat. For the last few months he will clean his bottom (not sure if he's concentrating more at his anus or urinary tract), sit straight up looking puzzled or annoyed and flip to the other side and do the same thing. He'll repeat this several times. He hasn't shown any trouble defecating/ urinating or had loose or dry stools. He doesn't have any visible signs of inflammation or irritation at his anus. He receives Revolution.

My 7month old male kitten butt is swollen after I gave him a tapeworm dewormer. A week ago his is having brownish diarrhea and his third eyelid was showing symptoms of Haws. Right now he keeps licking his butthole occasionally. He looks ok and I can't tell if he is having discomfort.. I am thinking about using a chlorhexidine pad and change his litter to pellet paper. I just checked Jao Jao stool and it looked soft Normal but the color is like orange brownish. So far I don't see any blood.

Our cat mandy is licking her butt and cleaning her butt all the time it look ertated i clean it with baby wipes but dont get it as cleaned as weel as i like shes maincoon very hairy cat what recommendation does any one have thank you

My cats anus is bright pink and it has like two white spots. He's a indoor/outdoor long haired older cat. I've washed and trimmed his fur because he has bad poop around it. I want to be able to bring him inside without him being uncomfortable, smelling like poop, and trailing poop around.

My cat has been low growling and licking his butt. Gave some stool loosener Haleys MO. It helped and then few days later it started again. So gave him a larger amt and it's been fine for almost 2wks. He just did it again tonight. His appetite has not changed and he is not bleeding or swollen in the anal area as far as I can tell. I don't have money due to applying for disability and you can't work while doing this. So whatever advise you can give for now until I get some money to take to vet and get checked out. What's the best dewormer medicine to get that's cheap. He has never been sick. Please help. Thanks

Bella has what looked like a hot spot at the base of her tail and she had a leaking anus I thought when we first rescued her. If you would pet near her tail on the top side at the base of the tail she would make noise like a quiet yowl. Now if she is having a flare up and you pet near the base of her tail she will lick the air and make this noise that sounds like she’s saying yum yum yum yum something like that. The way her poop seems to collect around her bum I shave her area to keep it from sticking in her hair. I would describe it like she is too short and her poop gets smooshed between her and the litter pan but she never has any litter in her anal area with the poop. She is a fat bellied cat she has a slight side to side waddle when she walks. She can’t lick her own bum to clean it she tries but she has to pull her belly out of the way with her paw and use for leverage to pull her self down to reach it. Now I noticed it has had puss every 4-12 weeks. The first time I noticed it she smelled funny like poop of course but also like corn chips and whenever the puss comes back so does the dry skin issue. She has “dandruff” along her spine and the base of the tail gets to where you can’t pet her all at the same time, as if the anus is associated with the base of the tail which makes sense because it’s the top side of the colon/anal canal. She doesn’t like it to be even touched with a warm cloth let alone being wiped. It has to be done though but after I do it and I squeeze the puss out the first time I saw it she feels a lot better you can tell she just feels better. It does come back ever so often. The vet has no idea. I don’t change her food EVER she eats the same flavor and same cuts and all. She eats half can of soft food daily and I leave her hard food out for her and Minerva to eat whenever they want. Her poop is soft but isn’t runny it has shape she doesn’t bury hers it is loud smelling too regardless of litter brand. She had fleas when we got her the person that we rescued her from allowed her to come in and out of the house we don’t. She seemed to be allergic to the flea bites. When I got rid of the fleas she started to heal the dry skin area at the base of the tail. I put cortisone on it and hot spot medicine the hair fell out and healed. That’s when it was apparent she was leaking and it came and went. The puss didn’t show up until the first time it flared up after fleas were gone so 3 months after the first time it healed. Then we noticed it smelled like corn chips and the poop was smooshed looking around her anus. She is otherwise healthy and acts like it doesn’t bother her unless you pet her near the tail. This time it came back her whole spine seemed itchy or something she reacted to me petting her. I need to find out what it could be that would cause it to leak clear poop to smoosh onto her bum and her base of tail to make her lick rapidly in the air when it’s pet. If she sees me put rubber gloves on and wet a cloth she hauls. She likes to hide in the window and I noticed it seems to get bothersome when she gets hot maybe coincidence. I need it clean because she loves laying on my pillow and arm of my chair (soft leather recliner). I don’t want to run her off because she wasn’t a lap cat when we rescued her she stayed away from people because of how she was treated and I love that she loves to be pet now and lay with me. I don’t want it to change but I want it to stop itching burning leaking stinking.

Adopted a cat about 2 weeks ago. Found out he had tapeworms and was treated with one Droncit tablet. After the tablet he had diarrhea and vomiting (but I think he kept the tablet down as I just saw a little bit of white in the vomit). I called the vet back to check to be sure this was normal and they also added Metronidazole. The next day vomiting and diarrhea stopped but he took a few days to recover (he just hid under the bed and slept). Now he is improving and getting back to his normal self except for he seems to have a red/bloody anus. He is licking it very frequently which he did not do before. It was 4 days ago that he had all the Droncit and diarrhea. He is still taking metronidazole. Is this a normal after effect or do I need to get him checked out again?

Im not sure if i need to be concerned. I dewormed my kitten about a week ago. No problems with defecating, eats and plays like a normal kitten but part of her rectum is sticking out. I haven't seen anything on the internet with the same description. Theres no diarrhea or abnormal symptoms except the rectum protruding on the bottom.

Kitten is 8 weeks now. He is eating fine drinking water. But I notice his anus is swollen and he hasa big belly. He has a little bit of lose stool. He staring eatting a lot all of a sudden. Can I give him any medication? Is it very serious? He was dewormed 2 weeks ago

Ziggy is a small 3 month old outside kitten. He plays and eats fine. However he has feces on the bottom of his tail and anus. His any is also protruding slightly and pink. He doesn't seem to be in pain unless you try to clean the feces off. Does anyone know the best way to help Ziggy? I am getting worm medicine but what will alleviate the pain until then?

Kitten -8 weeks

Eats whatever she can get ahold of. The vet gave two doses of dewormer so low chance of parasites. She’s had diarrhea for 3 days. My idea is because of the fast eating of wet food.

Hello!
I noticed that my kitten's bum is kind of swollen but has normal colour and it doesnt seem to be irritated. I also noticed that he ate some of the dry food of my adult cat before the diarhea started. Yesterday he had diarrhea with a brown colour but today it is green. What can the cause be?

My cat was said to possibly have colitis (they are not sure because she has abnormal rectum) by the vets at the shelter who took care of her but until now she has been fine. But now a year later i noticed for the past few days she seemed a bit agitated, was licking her butt more and pooping a bit at a time but more frequently than usual. So i checked her and saw that her rectal glands are swollen. I think it's because we suddenly changed her diet due to not being able to get her usual dry food because of cost and we know she needs time to get use to foods. Sadly i don't have the resources to help her right now (i'm 19, living with my family till i finish my AA degree and start working) and neither does my family. I want to help her in any way i can but i'm not sure what i can do because i can't afford a vet visit. Please help.

Hi there, my male cat has been hiding under a bed that isn't very clean. I noticed that his anus had pink skin peering out and was very swollen. I'm worried it is an infection or something worse. What do you think it is?

My cat Peaches has been rubbing her butt across the floor and her but is inflamed, is very red, and seems a bit swollen. She's been crying to me about it and I have been giving her Instinct Rawboost and her litter is the Blue Buffalo Walnut litter. So I'm not entirely sure what's going on with her. But I don't want her to be in pain and for something bad to happen to her health cause of this. What can I do? I am on limited funds.

My 8 week old kitten had loose stools lately which have now stopped.But her anal area has become red and swollen and she keeps licking it and crying.Please help.

My cat has been bleeding from his rectum when he defecates ever since I got him at 4 months. I had a vet examine a stool sample and told me he is safe and might be pushing too hard. He is now 2 and still bleeds when he defecates. I am asking if there is home remedys I can try before going back to the vet.

I have noticed a few days ago that my cat had some feces stuck under his tail, after cleaning it up and giving him laxatone the feces didnt seem to stick anymore. Now I notice that his anus is a bit swollen but not red or raw, he hasnt been licking it. He is an outdoor car also so I havent noticed any soft stool or straining in the litter box. Is there anything else I should be doing other than just giving him laxatone?

My cat has been scooting for a few weeks. Was giving him pumpkin and doing better now his stomach feels hard and his rear end seems raw. Can I put Vaseline on him.

My cat Boo has had inflammation of the rectum for a couple of weeks now. He is a 3 year old Tabby, is neutered and has no other mates; he is an only cat. Since the start of inflammation, he's had bloody runs. He's also not eating as much as he was a couple weeks ago. What could be causing this condition? Should I be concerned? Should he seek veternairan assistance? Please help my Boo as he is my baby and I love him very much! Thank you

9 week old kitten, doesn't like to drink water. His anus is red and swollen. I took him to the vet and got some antibiotic ointment. A week and a half later. his anus is still red and very swollen. He only eats wet food and I am taking him back to the vet. Is there anything else that I can do at home rather than trying to get him to drink water and put the ointment on? I thought about having him soak in a tub with warm water just above his rear end.

Excessive licking of anus and has loss hair around there it's very red and anus seems inflamed abit...some wet poop spots found on bed sheets...but still eating and being normal overall and drinking water

Shiro has a Swollen anus that sometimes it pops out more for example when she's playing. About one week ago after I saw blood & she had a problem while taking poop I took her to vet and I was giving her medicines and puting Hemorrhoids' cream in her for 5 days, 3 days after medicines and cream finished her anus is swollen again (but there isn't blood anymore). And the second problem is about three days ago she started coughing and now It's worsened. I don't know if it's becauseofo stress or litter dust but I don't think her situation is well. And sometimes she'll get diarrhea if it's useful information (I don't know the cause because it'll come and go in a day).

I have a stray that just showed up at my house he has a red and swollen rectum that he keeps licking and cant seem to control his pooping. Its like he doesnt even know he is using the bathroom it just flies out when he lays on his side stands up or anyone picks him up. Hes eating and drinking and running around playing as if he was perfectly fine. What could cause him to poop uncontrollably like this? And what can i do for it i dont have the money to bring him to the vet i named him Bynx but hes not mine ibe juat been taking care of him bc nobody knows who he belongs to and i cant just not help him

My kitten is 6 or 7 months old and he is having a bad case of diareah.im watching his intake on water to make sure he's hydrated but his anal is inflamed and I was wondering what can I put on it to call that irritation down?

My male cat has not been clean the fur around his anus and his anus looks red. He has also been urinating around the house, I'm not sure that correlates with any thing.

Currently my female cat of 4 years old is leaving little blood droplets throughout the house. Not full blood, could be urine or water mixture. I lifted her tail to find quite a bit of hair missing, it’s EXTREMELY red and super swollen. I’ve take her to the vet for this once before, they didn’t do a whole lot because i was iffy on money at the time. $1K Afor answers? I couldn’t do it. So they gave me a vague answer of could be a severe UTI or it could be ulcers. I just want to know how to help her, I’m about to use Bactine on her butt for pain help and put a soft cone on her head. Should i take her back to the vet? I have no idea! I just feel so bad for her. She looks so uncomfortable.

My cats butthole looks almost raw, just wondering what it could be? She doesn’t have worms or anything of that nature because she just had a vet visit. Tonight is the first night I’ve noticed the rawness.

Female cat; positive for felv and five. Just treated for an upper respiratory infection. Lived outdoors for unknown number of years before being rescued 4 months ago. Lives indoors now in a large room alone; I have another cat but they stay separated. We change close and wash hands in-between pets. She started showing some odd behavior of discomfort near butt and also has a swollen anus. Less poop than normal in the litter box. What can I do to get her to feel better until I can get a vet appointment?

A stray kitten came outside my house two days ago. She looked quite weak so i decided to feed her with my other cats. She plays normally, eats good and sleeps during the whole day. There are some things that i noticed in her.
1)There is a pink linning around her eyes.
2)She sneezes alot
3)she has a slightly inflammed anus.
4)she wobbles when she gets up
I dont know what to do. I am right now giving her warm food but can u tell me what is it if it's serious or not also what steps should i additionally take for her?

A stray kitten came by my house just two days ago. She was weak and i gave her food. She sleeps in almost all day. She also plays n is quite a bright star but the problem is she sneezes alot and also shivers alot too. I try to keep her warm as much as possible also her anus is a little more pink then my other cats i dont know what to do exactly so can u give me some stuff that i should take care of her? Also what food would be best for her? She has light pink linning around her eyes and looks sick even though she eats, plays and sleeps like a regular kitten.Thanks

I have this stray kitten named punky. I was told the momma cat quit feeding her around 2 1/2 weeks so I took her in, but I notice her but is really red and wet looking. She doesn't lick it too much and she has no problem going to the restroom. I can't afford to take her to the vet what do you suggest I do and what over the counter meds and wormer can I use,

Ira was constipated and took laxatone to move things along. This went well. He hasn't been eating a lot and he has been to our vet twice. He is now on prednisone to stimulate his appetite (only 2 doses). Should he be hungry by now~~he is eating a little more, but not much. He is also have very sticky poop and I've had to clean/remove poop from his bum a couple of times. Please help!!

Thank you for responding. He was pretty constipated and we went through using laxalone to get his bowels moving. Which worked, but his appetite has been lagging. We have been to the vet 2 times. His blood panels were normal, he's been xrayed and everything appears normal. He just seems to have developed and aversion to eating more than just a few mouthfuls at any time. He has only been on prednisone for 2 doses, I hope his appetite will pick up. It has just been very stressful and I have been very anxious. I don't want my anxiety to feed his fear. He is peeing well and a bowel movement daily~~but they are small (likely reflective of how much he is eating) and sometimes very sticky and I've had to remove them from his backside and clean him up.


I'm just exhausted and worried.

My cat MO is 17 years old has become thin and seems to growl when we pick her up. I noticed a sac dark in colour around her vagina dark purple and hard to touch. Around her rectum its weird I know this sounds but, there is a roundish hard lump on her surrounds palpation is hard as well i do not know. I have de wormed her, she has all her immunisations and we feed her special 7 years plus cat sachets. I am scared of losing her. I do not know what to do as we are quite poor and cannot afford if she had to get surgery or xrays but she is deeply loved and like one of our own babies.

For a few days now, my 3 year old cat has been occasionally pooping outside the box. I originally thought he was just upset about something or had a leaky bum, but the feces are very round and somewhat hard. I saw himself cleaning himself vigorously today after finding another piece of poop outside the box and saw that his rectum was very red. I know sometimes he has hairy poops because he cleans himself and my other cat a lot so I would see lumps of hair hair and feces sticking out of his bum when he tries defecating, but this is not the case here. I switched them to a new hairball formula food today because lately they have been on a grain free formula so maybe that is what caused this digestive response? I will take him to the vet in a few days if the food change doesn't help but if there is any insight or advice for the meantime, please help.

My cat has Like this for three days now and the proble is that like we’re her B
business comes out of it looks really swollen and red and she doesn’t sit all the way down so we want to know what is wrong with her
Thankyou

Hi! My 5 year old cat, had a issue of not using restroom on and off about four weeks. Last week i took him to the vet. They did a xray and said yes he had stool backed up, recommended at ennema. So i was force to leave him for the day. ( Let me say not knowing that this would make a difference but my cat is only use to my husband and myself he is scared of anyone else) After returning to vet they said he went good and was fine. He still did not use restroom and I called the vet they wanted to put him on stool softener however we had a bad snow storm and i wasn't able to get what they wanted him to take so they said to give him 1/2 tsp of Miralax with his food, well i have done that all this week, still hadn't seen much stool in litter box. This morning, i noticed that he had a lot of mushy stool entangled in his hair around his Anus. So thick that it covered it. My husband and i cut the hair off and tried to clean as much as we were able to today, still couldn't get it all. From what i did see it his Anus looks swollen and not normal. I am worried. Note: during Christmas he was caught eating off the tree, also he has a fetish for eating boxes and paper. I ask the vet did it look like on the xray he has a blockage such as cardboard they said they didn't see and blockage,I don't know what to do, He is supposed to go back to vet tomorrow for check up but he was so traumatized last time, he is just now acting normal despite his other issue. My cat is everything to me, i am just very worried as to what to do.

I picked my cat, Cherrie up to bring her to bed and she started meowing in pain. I’m lead to believe it is coming from either her rectum or around that area. It isn’t bleeding nor does it look swollen. What do you think it is?

What can I do to help my cat at home? It's Saturday and my vet can't get me in until Monday. Is there anything I can do for my cat at home to relieve the swelling at home? Hydrocortisone cream? She is contanstly liking it.

My cat blue is almost 19 years old does not go to or have a vet. I worked at a petstore n gave her first shots. But now almost 19years into her life she had seizures they stopped for months now her eye sight going but shes very playful n noes her surroundings. Her anal area around tail is lil raw she keeps licking it and irritating it. Sometimes it bleeds just noticed it I put vaseline on it but cant afford a vet. Please help

I recently changed my cats diet. Now he has had diarrhea for the past day. He bottom seems really red and he’s Scooting across the floor now. He’s even growling in pain. What can I do to ease the pain.

Took my cat to my vet this morning for treatment for respiratory infection and diarreah. Now giving her antibiotics. She was born with ďwarfism and is prone to colds.

I hadn't noticed until tonight that her rectum is sooo swollen and raw from the diarreah, I know it has to hurt. Is there anything extra I can do to make her bum feel better?

My female 11 yo cat often experiences poop that is stuck to her anus. It either doesn't come out completely or it is hanging on with hair that is also coming out of her. This happens at least 1 x week. She flies out of the litter box in a panic and resolves to rubbing her anus on the carpet, unless I am around to help. This results in a red irritated anus for a few hours which she continually licks. She seems so uncomfortable. I have mentioned to the vet and they have looked at your anus (which looks fine otherwise) and no concern. Is there something I can do to stop this from happening or anything I can apply to her anus to help with her discomfort in the acute situation.

Hello! This is urgent, and I need to know what to do with my one-year-old male kitty. The other day, he showed symptoms of trying to defecate but there was nothing coming out. Yesterday, he also tried to defecate, but to no avail. He's crying in pain when we hold him and last night, he was shivering too. When I came home just now, my mom and I found out he's bleeding from his anus. It's not profusely bleeding but there are little drops of pale-colored blood from his anus. I'm really worried about him because he just turned a year old, and I need tp know what to do and if I need to give him any medication ASAP. :(

my 2 and a half month old kitten have a smelly bum he poos alot and the smell is awful yesterday i fed him tuna for the first time and he got diarrhea and poo and anus smelled so bad and today he took second dosage of Drontal deworm bills , what can cause his bum to smell bad it smells nasty since yesterday even though i showered him today but the smell doesn't seem to disappear

My 6 month old kitten has an itchy but and has had a bit of blood once in a while. How can I treat his rectum he has scooted across the floor a few times. He's 6 mo old and has been de wormed 2 x has all of his shots. Thank you

I just took my cat to the vet and he said that he has a bladder infection but the veternarian did not check his rectum which is what my cat keeps licking and it looks irritated and a little swollen not sure now if it's a uti or something else

Rocky is a 6 month old cat. Today I came home and found little pebbles of poop, like he had dingleberries, then i saw his anus was very red, almost thought it was bleeding. However... He got neutured on Febuary 6th, today is the 27th. Maybe his anal glands are swollen? Maybe I'm just seeing that he doesnt have balls anymore? Idk whats going on.

My female cat Lily is obese and has anal gland issues I think. Her anal is red and super swollen and looks very inflamed. She has been leaking a very terrible urine smell and she is now having diarrhea with it. I brought her to the vet years ago with the same problem and they say it was her anal gland and the fact that she is obese, she cannot clean herself, so it led to an infection. So they gave us antibiotics and a cream and it went away, but it seems like she just keeps having the same issues. This has been going on for years now. Not sure what to do. Could it be a rectum problem?

I have just noticed my female cat is bleeding from her bum. But it looks a bit cloudy and watery and wherever she sits, there's a little bit left on the blanket . She was sat with her bum hanging over the table and when I picked an envelope from the floor, watery blood must have dropped onto it as there was a small spot. She doesn't seem to be in any pain and it seems it is coming out of her front bottom as opposed to her anus


She she having a period? She will be 4 in August.

Any help would be great please!
I have checked her poo and it's normal, not soft and no traces of blood.

She was fine earlier; and then randomly became lethargic, panting, unable to pass stool and overall uncomfortable. She won’t drink water and doesn’t want to move from whereever she positioned herself. It’s late at night and no vets are open and I don’t know what to do.

My cat seems to be in a little pain ... he’s following me around he wants to be held but then again he doesn’t want to be held seems like he is really trying to tell me something he keeps brushing his backside against me and when I rub his back near the tail, he tenses up

My cat has red Anus... It has diarrhea since 2 days... The litter is slimy and watery... It has no control on its stool... All other activities look normal...
He is a 2 year old cat...

My cat had a bad reaction to table food, she has a very sensitive stomach and the first time she was prescribed prednisone and the pooping out of the box stopped. A year later came her bad reaction of vomiting 10 times that day then stopped pooping in her box again... I took her to the vet to get prednisone, they ended up giving her triple the dose and children's prednisone. Two days later she started pooping bright red blood and still outside of box. I had her prednisone changed after I went to a new vet and she still did it get better. She's still bleeding and I can tell she's so uncomfortable... both vets act like this is normal... it's been almost two weeks.

My cat recently had tapeworms from fleas. We have treated the fleas and I have applied prevent measures of putting Diamatous Earth all over the house. However I am wondering if maybe this is causing my cat's bottom to itch now. We have treated the fleas and tapeworms. Went to the vet just to get a pill. He wasn't seen because I didn't think it was that big of a deal. Just a raw butt. But now its looks swollen and it has dry blood. Its not fresh, He HAS been using the litter like normal. He's eating like normal. Its just his butt is swollen a little and raw from constant licking. Do I need to apply maybe an ointment on him now or put a cone over him?

My kittens Rectum looks very swollen and sore, he doesn’t seem to be in pain but it smells bad and I’m wondering if he has worms or is allergic to something? He’s still a baby and I was wondering if maybe the litter is irritating his bottom. Let me know what you think.

Hello my cat finnagan is 6 years old and a little over weight he weighs 15 pounds and because of this he can't reach his bum very well to clean it so I usually wipe his bum with some tissue paper and warm water . Today I tried to wipe his bum and he cried and ran away from me he usually doesn't do this . Was wondering what could possibly causing him pain

I have a kitten who is switching over to dry food and has become constipated what should I do? His anus is swollen crying out in pain poops just a little bitHis rectum is very swollen

My cat has a swollen red anus and doesn’t want to move from her spot when she lays down. She has some desire to eat but not much she is switching over from her moms milk to soft food and I believe is conatipated what should I do

Hello my kitten is about 8 weeks old. I got her from the shelter where she had been fixed and “dewormed” before I picked her up but she had diarrhea really bad. I had Given her a tiny piece of Imodium but now she’s not using the bathroom and isn’t active at all.. all she does is sleep but is drinking water and eating. I’m really worried and she keeps sneezing if that says anything

My 15 year old female cat has been constipated for 2 days and crys when she trys to go. I notice some swelling and thick red bubble hanging out of her behind. I can't take her to the vet cause she stresses. What can I do.

I brought home a stray kitten that is no more than a month old. She eats both dry and wet food but started to become very gassy and eventually had diarhea. I've given her kmr a three times in the last two days in hope that it may help both her growth and her stomach, but I'm afraid it's making it worse. She's started to drag her butt on the ground and cries whenever it's touched - Which is pretty often, because it needs to be wiped off with a damp paper towel when she poops sometimes.
Her butt doesn't look swollen, but it is a little red. We did give her some worming treatment a while ago but she had no worms in her poop.

My cat won’t stop visiting the toilet and he anus is very sore and red. She’s eaten some of my food that I left on the side and unsure if she’s had and allergic reaction.

My kitten has a red anus and its a tad swollen, she did have worms, but had been given the proper medication for them, is this the cause of her swollen and redness? She doesn't really have any other symptoms and it just occurred with in the last hour?

we found a srtay cat that was dumped out front of our house she is constantly licking her bum and has what looks like an ulcer or abcess on her upper lip and large swollen spots where she has been licking any where on her body like she has multiple abcesses all over her body

My kitten who is about 10 weeks old cries when he poops. His bottom is red. He doesn’t lick it. But i can tell it is red.. he is not drinking a lot of water but he eats wet food.

My kitten is approx 6-7 months old. We purchased him from a rescue 3 weeks ago. He is neutered. We feed him the same food as the rescue place - dry Hills Science Diet kitten formula. He acts fine, drinks/eats fine, but his stools resemble "cow patties". He's never had an accident outside of the little box. The middle of his anus is red & irritated looking, but he doesn't act like it bothers him. He has been tested for worms and came back clear. Any suggestions as to what could be causing his irritation and soft stool?

My kitten of approximately 12 weeks has a pink color on tail by anus like she's been licking a lot. She does a butt wiggle like she can't get comfortable. Wish I could send picture or video. We can't afford a vet bill. She is currently one an antibiotic for an eye infection.

I have a male tabby 1 1/2 year old who is not neutered and I took him to the vet because he was acting strange and I noticed he was doing an excessive amount of licking on to his penis then his anus. She checked him and took a urine sample and said he had and infection but didn't know what kind. She gave him amoxicillin for 10 days and its been a week and his anus has gotten red and swollen. He has an appointment in the next 2 weeks to get neutered but not sure if I need to reschedule or take him to the vet again. His poop is also runny and he licks it off his bottom because its not that much that comes out unless it's a lot then he goes to the litter box. He also lost his appetite and does not eat like he use to and sleeps more than normal.

When my cat was dedicating in her box,I saw that the inside lining of her anus looked very red. She doesn't seem like she is in pain. She is not overly scratching or cleaning herself in that area. It just looked very red. Is that redness normal? Should I take her to the vet?

I have a one year old male cat that we took in from outside. He has three legs and when taken to the vet, they said he lost his leg at a few days old due to trama. He loves to eat and drink water and to cuddle and be loved on. Lately I have been finding blood spots around the house and he has dry blood around his behind. He cries when I go near the area. He's an inside cat and has not been outside in over a year. Any idea what this could be?

My long hair mancoon cat has not been to the bathroom in 2 days. Her anus hole is really small I've tried hairball gel and pumpkin. She still has not gone yet and her tummy and anal area hurts. She eats and drinks well

My kitty, has been throwing up a lot lately, for the last year probably. We started giving him wet food, actually it is just the baby food meats chicken, turkey, or beef, or sometimes he has tuna. This helped for a while. Very recently he will drop a piece of poop randomly around the house. ( he is normally super clean and concienious about it) today he had poop stuck all over his butt my husband and I were cleaning him with baby wipes and noticed his anus is very red and swollen. Looks super painful! We really can not afford a vet bill right now. Is there anything we can do for him? Also, I started him on Vets Best Hairball relief digestive aid about a week ago. I have just been giving him one per day, he hasn’t thrown up all week! He usually throws up at least every other day. He did however throw up this morning.

My female short hair has been scooting her butt on the carpet. The top part of her anus has a red, swollen bulge sticking out...the closest thing I can think of to describe it is similar to a hemorrhoid.she doesn't seem to act like she's in pain, only behavior is the scooting on the carpet. I am worried because it looks very swollen and painful, a few months ago she was scooting with a little redness and the vet told me not to worry. This time it is very, very swollen and red. Should I take her back to the vet? Or will they tell me it is nothing again?

What can i do for him? My vet doesn’t answer she’s away and i found this little cat in the street but when he sees me he scream for help he doesn’t eat dry food much he looks hungry. He’s around 3 months or 2 and his anus is swollen with a bit of blood in his stool. What can i feed him for now and what’s the suitable medication?

Hello,

My cat has been having small puddles of diarrhea for 3 days now. The first two days, she was licking her anus frequently, probably 6-10 times per hour. Her anus was reddish right in the middle yesterday, but it looks normal today. Today, I only saw her lick one time.

The first day, we found four small diarrhea puddles throughout the house. Yesterday, she only had one incident of diarrhea. Today, she had just one as well - but this time I saw blood when cleaning it up.

She appears to be eating normally and is acting normally now. She is a 7-year old cat, slightly overweight, spayed, no prior health problems to my knowledge. We adopted her at age 5 and have had her for 2 years now with no health issues. We have not changed her food or anything else in her routine.

Is there anything I can do at home to help her? Is this likely serious or something that will pass on its own?

I'm conserned about sores on my 9mo old kittys head, neck cheeks & I saw sores on his tummy the other day (what I thought was fireant bites, but I'm not sure because of the other sores everywhere) I did put Neosporin on them & his private's...but he keeps licking there. I'm not sure it's safe for him to be injesting that stuff. He itches to the point of exhaustun, his fur isn't soft anymore either. He can't sleep until I catch, bathe & "doctor" him. He's to the point that he's very Leary about getting close to me so I can pet him or hold him to love on him. He thinks I'm gonna bathe or "doctor" him & he keeps outta my reach as best he can.
Would y'all have any idea what we could do help my Lil guy? He's been checked for worms, but he's all clear....he also seems to be rather "horny" tho he's been fixed...

I have a kitten male neutered who has been farting and smelling terrible and then I noticed he was licking a lot. I finally got a good look...his little bit is really pink. So I cleaned him up and have been putting vasaline on when I can catch him. He is eating, drinking and playing...it concerns me

We just recently took in a 4 week old (1 month old) kitten rescued from the streets. He has been weaned but still drinks KMR (Kitten Milk Replacement) He has been having trouble pooping for the past 2-3 days and seemed to be bloated for the first day. I'm not sure weather he is suffering from constipation, Inflammation, worms, or any other problem. How would I be able to tell which he is suffering from? What should I do to help him? Is going to the vet necessary? Thank you for your time. I greatly appreciate it.

my cat just had babies three days ago and I’ve just realized that she had something pinkish coming from her butthole. I rubbed how her stomach and she farted. I have no clue what to do about this

We have a foster mom that i noticed has extremely bad smelly poop and it’s very runny too. I thought she could have diarrhea from the changing of locations. But it’s been a few days and her pooping has increased. I noticed tonight, she now has two white sores on her anus and it looks swollen. She has no problems with eating.

So my cat has a bit of redness on her anus. Yesterday i heard her meow whenshe went to the bathroom but it was like a painful sceaming meow. It was really loud and i ran to my room but didnt see anything in her litted box except a little bit of pee. And todayi noticed it was red around the opening of the anus and not sure if its swollen.

Hi my at he kittens a week ago today I checked the kitten so the other two are perfectly fine but I noticed on the other kitten it’s got a red lump under his tail near his bum? What could it be?

My 13 year old cat has been having a problem with not going poop in the litter box, pee is fine but she always gos #2 just outside the litter. She also has a small red, pimple on her anus. Ive tried looking at it but it must hurt her because she always crys. Plus her poop smells really foul. Ive also noticed her skin is getting dry and flakey and her fur is getting matted more and more. I know shes an older kitty, but i feel like this is a serious problem.

I gave my cat a bath a couple weeks ago and a bit after that she has been meowing when i lift up her tail, she also rubs her butt a bit on the floor and her butt area is a bit red and looks like it is losing fur. I give her Stronghold for the fleas and parasites. She is 13 pounds and has been playing just fine. Could you please help me figure out what it could be and what to do.

My kitttens lower part of her body is shaking (near the bum area) before she was meowing s lot and had poo stick in her bum that stopped after a day and now she shakes
What shall I do?

My cat has severe inflammation in her anus and I think vagina.she did have some diarrhea. I have wiped it with wet toilet paper and she is greatful. She is miserable. What can I do?

I have a 6 week old kitten that a lady found and has been having diarrhea and his butt area is red and And hes constipated when trying to use the bathroom what should I do

i got a kitten today, its belly was swollen so i knew worms, i have wormed it about 5 hours ago, its little bottom is very red is there anything other than worming that i can do to give it some fast relief, it looks sore,

We have a two week old kitten who was abandoned by the mother. We have put the kitten with another mom who is caring for it. We just noticed that it’s rectum is red and swollen and appears to be more swollen on the right side. Any idea what this means?

I have a 1 week old kitten and he’s a orphan and I clean he’s rectum with toilet paper but I felt like It gave him a rash so I switched to wipes because he started bleeding. So my question is was it caused because I was doing it with toilet paper instead of wipes that’s way more soft ?

My cat is an inside cat but he uses the restroom outside the house then comes back home later . He recently came back with pain in his anal area he's constantly licking it & he cries if I touch anywhere near his tail . Did he catch something from outside maybe ?

I have a orphan kitten and I clean him with toilet paper but I’m afraid it cused him some type of rash because when he uses the bathroom there’s blood in his stool should I switch him to wipes? Or should I take him to go in and see a veteran he’s only a week old.

Kitten from litter has a swollen anus, terribly shaking and mewing. Looks overall uncomfortable. Refuses to move very much. Kitten was fine early morning, later in afternoon symptoms were noticed. What is it and how can it be treated? (Kittens are eating solid kitten food, but it is worth noting that sometimes steal adult food)

Should I take my cat to the vet?
She has black and brown stuff inside her ears where she itchs until she bleeds and the area around her butthole is losing hair and red. We’ve ordered a cone for her and added topical creams but it doesnt seem to be healing her symptoms.

I just want to know what’s the possible conditions of this..
I have a little stray cat his age is around 2 and a half month he had worms in his stomach once we found him and he was very skinny we took him to the clinic and they gave him a deworm medication and checked everything he recovered from the worms thing and even his diarrhea is normal without blood like before. But now he had another sudden symptoms popped out of the blue his left leg suddenly got very swollen and almost blue like it has so much fluids in it and a week later his right hand is starting to look the same we took him to the vet but she couldn’t recognize what he’s suffering from she gave him antibiotics and he’s still the same and his leg is getting worse because he’s screaming a lot like he’s crying.. please tell us what should we do and what he might have in this case and is it deadly or recoverable? :(

My cat has been having problems with her anus. Her anus gets very red and very irritated. She has been constipated lately. She drinks enough water but she still stays constipated. I have noticed there has bee some blood in her poop. I was wondering if this is normal if not what is the problem and what can I do to help her get better
