About three days ago, I noticed what I think is swelling "right above" the anus. I’m not even sure if it is swollen, I am a worry wort BIG TIME when it comes to my cat. Right above the anus, it is about 3/4 the size of a pea. I have been told that my cats anal glands may need expressing, or it could be feline hemorrhoids. I understand how they express a felines anal glands, but what is the treatment for feline hemorrhoids? And why was I told to take my cat to the vet ASAP, if it is feline hemorrhoids as if it were an emergency?

I bought a teacup pomeranian about a month ago (I know that it was a bad decision on my part buying a teacup dog) however, ever since i’ve had him we had taken him to the vet about 7-8 times. The medical bills keep piling up because he’s not getting better. He had been treated for hypoglycemia and coccidiosis which one vet diagnosed him for, but now we’re giving him another medication for discomfort in his large intestines? Ever since I had my puppy (he was born on 3/16/08) he has been crying everytime he tries to poop, and sometimes it doesn’t even come out. We’ve been giving him this laxative for cats that the vet gave us, but he’s still not getting better and the doctors we’ve went to can’t seem to figure it out. His butthole is swollen, and he keeps tryin to poop every 20 mins, but only a small amount comes out. It’s not his anal glands, anal sacs, or anything like that. Please help me! I just want him to get better soon. His butt has been in discomfort for a whole month now!

One of my 3 cats is about 14 years old and today we found her lying on our tile with a pile of bloody poo next to her. A few moments ago we discovered that she was bleeding from her anus. We are worried that her artificial rectum has a tear in it (When she was a kitten her rectum was missing so she couldn’t go poo. She had to have a bowel reconstruction or something like that.) Anyways, she’s always struggled to go to the bathroom but has never bled. We have attemped to move her to put her into a cat-carrier to take her to the vets but she starts meowing in pain. Should we take her to the vets anyways or should we let nature take its course… Any sugesstions on how to make last little bit of her life as comfortable as possible? Oh and she’s still drinking. We haven’t tried food yet though. Thanks for any answers.

I was wondering whether cats can get hemorrhoids. I noticed that my cat indulging in more than usual tail chasing, scooting, licking and biting near the anal area.
