Could an issue with anal sacs cause diarrhea or just occur as a result of it?

Posted 7hrs ago. Bump.

I will be taking him to vet today or tommorow. Husband was out of work for three months and we were almost foreclosed. Money is an issue right now, so posting in hopes of advice that could help save a bit of money in regards to what to allow the vet to do or prescribe etc. I have 5 indoor...

Hello everyone. SO sorry for not posting an update sooner. I've had a VERY stressful and busy few weeks. We returned to the vet several times the first week. Our primary goal was to stabilize her since she had been so near death when she arrived. She was then started on Azrithromycin. It was...

I asked that, but he didn't think it was. Just that her elevated glucose was from stress. The other vet agreed.   It's her breathing and sinuses that are the biggest concern. With her nasal drainage and some days blocked, it lowers her appetite and fluid intake. The breathing has her miserable.

So now we're up to THREE vets. This third one was way more aggressive towards attempting to find a solution, but still nothing. He has no idea. Tuesday morning, I almost lost her. She became suddenly lethargic and was drooling pools of mucus from her mouth. It was foul smelling and green like...

As soon as I return after the steroids end as directed then I'm making them do a culture. I wish I had a better vet locally. Just feels like neither really are concerned enough. I'm hoping it's not FHV or something similar. Her teeth and everything were normal. Neither could really give me a...

I'll have to get a copy of the labwork from the vet. He said he didn't think it meant anything other than where she was ill, but it worried me since it was the only panel high. She drinks alot, but where she's been sick it's hard to determine if is due to illness or if is a diabetes symptom like...

Hello! There was never a culture. I found that odd, but at the time didn't think to question it. With vet two, I'm supposed to return after a few weeks when the steroid has worn off and get some drops. I don't yet know what, but I was planning to ask them then about culture. It really worries...

That's what I thought. I'm unsure what triggered her illness. There have been no recent changes in diet or household. I found it odd that neither vet tested her for that or the other common cat ailments. I will look into the L-Lysine and ask them about the antiviral meds when we go back in a few...

I'll definitely look into Lysine. Is there a way to know for sure if it's herpes? Why wouldn't the vet have tested her? I'm already ensuring to keep her as comfortable and stress free as possible. Her breathing sounds so sad... Sofar the humidifier seems to help, but not much. Our weather...

Hello! Thank you. :D Me too...not knowing for sure why is worrying me greatly. I've heard of I lysine...curious why neither vet mentioned it. If it is, I've never seen one like this. It's primarily affecting her sinuses. Her lungs were clear. I've been keeping my humidifier running non-stop as...

Mods, please delete this second post (not the starting post). Finally found the post editor.

Hello everyone. It's been several years since I was here last. Life has kept me busy and I've since grown up. I believe I was 16-19 when I first joined. Now I'm 28! Amazing that this forum has endured. I wish I was returning under better circumstances but I need your help. For the last three...
