He has been putting up such a fight during potty time. Last night, I noticed with alarm his rectum looked like a lit cigerette glowing in the dark. The entire rectum is ringed in blood, but there is no blood in his stool and no loose blood anywhere else. Turns out, he has a rectal eversion which if not corrected will lead to a rectal prolapse and surgery. Poor kitty- he can’t seem to catch a break!
I ran a fecal over to the vet for testing but he suspects it is the food- so we switched over to ProPlan Kitten fish flavor and a dry kitten food NOT dusted with milk- which turns out also to be a Purina Product called SmartBlend for Kittens. I am increasing his fluid intake and using vaseline to coat his bum. It only shows when he is pooping and is why he screams so terribly.
The vet is supposed to call later with the results of the fecal. It would be nice, if I didn’t have to have my vet on speed dial! LOL
That poor cat. You’re right: he can’t seem to get a break. Here’s hoping things improve for him soon.
