Hi,
Chloe is 4 years old and we adopted her when she was 9 months old, and on our way to pick her up we found out she had an anal prolapse but we still went with the adoption. So before we adopted her, he has a surgery called “purse string” but it wasn’t 100% effective. and when we got her we took her to the vet and about 3 years ago decided to go with a more serious surgery to get her butt back in place. i recently noticed that her butt is sticking out a little bit again, we are taking her to a new vet soon. i feel like our previous vet isn’t really helping us anymore. and i’m actually upset that before we did the surgery we didn’t go for a third opinion but at the time they seemed like a perfect vet compared to the one we went the first time with her. but the problem is that she doesn’t clean her butt, or anything around it and sometimes poop just falls out of her as if she doesn’t even feel it.
for the butt cleaning,
we can’t bathe her, we tried so many times but i end up feeling so bad for her to put her through all that stress that i just give up (our cat is very skittish) and i sit in the bathroom with her for an hour trying to clean her with a damp cloth. it takes me that long because i take breaks in between and sit with her and pet her. but sometimes i don’t notice the dirty butt right away, especially if it happens while i am sleeping.
so now, we are thinking of trying to trim her around her butt, i just ordered a cat groomer kit and trim her every time her hairs gets a little bit of longer so it doesn’t get on it.
i just don’t know what to do anymore, it’s a little bit annoying that her butt is dirty so often.
Anyone else has/had a cat with anal prolapse ?
Any tips on how to clean her butt ?
Sorry if my post is all over the place, i tend to go in circles sometimes.
