My baby Percy had a little blood on her butt so I took her to pet emergency (her regular vet was booked). They said her anal glands were thick and full. They said they could express them or we could wait and see if she did it on her own. The next day she had loose poop with blood. We took...

Hello all! Thanks in advance for the advice. My cat's butt tends to look dirty a lot, although I'm not sure if it's anal glands or poop. He occasionally has some really dry poops (but is getting miralax in his wet food so it looks good most of the time). He has some smudges of dark brown that...

My sweet girl has had these for a few weeks. I just noticed that when she sits on the tile/counter that there are bloody spots from them. They don’t seem to bother her. Her poops are normal and she doesn’t drag her bottom on the carpet…any idea what they could be?

Needing some help with my 8 years old kitty. His anals are clogged and keep needing to be expressed also with antibiotic treatment injected into the anals. It seems that every other day, he is uncomfortable. Sometimes he just cries in pain and I scoop him up and run to the vet. What else can I...

...appear to show other symptoms that I can see. No biting or licking his rear end, for example. Is there any other way to verify his anal glands are full or blocked? He’s a dark gray cat so it’s really impossible to try to visually inspect and see if the glands are enlarged. Blocked anal glands...

Last Thursday my female was scooting her butt on the floor and I took her in and it turns out that her gland were impacted and the vet expressed them. Yesterday was a recheck and they were impacted again but showing no symptoms. They were expressed again and my vet suggested bring her in every...

...clear fluid from his anus. Whenever it happens, he seems startled too, and will immediately groom his anus. I'm assuming it's from his anal glands. It's not brown or yellow so it seems like it looks healthy, and I've more so heard about the concern of them getting clogged, not spontaneously...

...been shaking his head (maybe itchy? his ears look clean and healthy). I took him to the vet and they checked his joints and expressed his anal glands, and I thought that was that, but he's just started up again after almost 3 weeks. I don't think it can be parasites (worms, fleas, etc.) as I...

Hi! My 3.5 year old male cat can be a little stinky, but lately it's been really bad. My guess is that it's his anal glands because his bowel discharge is pretty normal. What situation requires his glands to be expressed? Is random stinkage normal? He doesn't spray anymore, though he did when we...

...I used to think they were just little bits of poop, but I just got a full view of her butt in sunlight and have realized it's where her anal glands are. She has no symptoms of anal gland issues (swelling, obesity, redness, apparent pain, scooting etc.), and I can't find an answer online. I...

...a few minutes and she has been fine the rest of the day. No redness or anything on her butt. I'm wondering if this might have been her anal glands? I guess I'm just waiting until she poops again to see what happens. She only goes about once a day. I'm hoping this was a one time thing. Anybody...

...couple days. Have a vet appointment scheduled in a few days, but this morning I found a dark spot on the bed and it didn't smell very nice. She quit scooting. Can cats sometimes take care of that themselves? With all the cats we've had over the years, I never had a problem with cat anal...

...it came to cleaning her bumhole because it seemed she always left pieces of poop there, but I recently came across an image of expressing anal glands that looked similar to what she had. I've attached an image below; I'd appreciate it if anyone could offer additional insight or clarification...

...canned food and she began to eat regularly again. Yesterday at the vet they drew blood, administered fluids and expressed her anal glands which weren't infected but were filled with a compressed, sticky substance, not entirely normal. Punkin is 15 and has had anal gland issues in the past. I...

My cat is going to have his anal glands expressed again, second time in two months. The vet is prescribing Royal Canin fiber response RX food and says if it happens again, he will have to have his glands surgically removed. He’s currently 10 years old with no other known health issues except...

Hey guys I was wondering if cat anal glands should be always abit stinky. My cat has long hair and he rarely gets poop stuck on his fur which i have to gently remove but he freaks out any time I try to wipe his bottom. I know that cats dont like to be touched around their bum and/legs. Should I...

I had been feeding my 2 male cats Rachel Ray Grain-free for over 6 months. My younger cat has a history of food sensitivities and vomiting and this has seemed to be agreeable. The poops and butts seemed fine. I had a large bag of Purina One grain free that was bought by mistake and after...
