Diego-san had another trip to the vet yesterday to have his... (psssst) anal glands looked up. Sure enough they were full again and had to be expressed. I did some research afterward and read that it usually isn't good to have a cat's anal glands expressed regularly because it affects the muscles down there, and it can be a sign of some other issue. I'm going to do further research on a probable change in his diet.
He was a trooper though- hardly complained at all during the entire trip/ordeal.
Well, it sounds humiliating, but it proly felt good when it was over.
ReplyDeleteI hope you can figure out why this keeps happening. I have a friend who had his cat's anal glands removed. I can't recall what prompted this, but I know it's not something that is typically done.

Diego-san hang in there. Hopefully something can be found to help you.
ReplyDeletePoor Diego-san. Have you checked out Woody's Pet Food Deli, www.woodyspetdeli.com, location in St. Paul? I've had great success with meat diet for my kitties and foster kitties.
