She's picky and doesn't like many things. She used to love hydra care, sardines, tuna but since I tried to mix the supplements with them, she doesn't even try to lick them anymore. I can't give cheese and certain foods because she has a high cholesterol level and I'm giving her the...
I have supplements in veggie capsules and tried mixing the powder in with the food, with Hydra Care, pill pockets (too small), treat, none of them worked, so started to syringe it directly in the mouth but my cat started to resist taking the supplements by foaming at the mouth and drooling all...
I've only had two cats (twins) but if I'm going to get another cat in the future, it would be 2 or more littermates.

I totally understand your panic not knowing what's happening and it's the weekend...
Everyone is concerned about his peeing because a urinary blockage is fatal if left untreated for more than 24 hours.
You said he cried in pain when he pooped earlier, which could possibly mean that he was...
I can't help with the anal gland but do you know if he peed in the last 24-48 hours? I hope he's not blocked... if he hasn't been able to pee in the last 24-48 hours, he needs to go to the emergency vet asap.
