Cat with bowel problem
I am writing this for my Mom, she does not compute!
She has an approx. 6-8 mo. old male neutered cat. The last few weeks he has started screaming when he has a bowel movement, he is not constipated, occasionally it is a little loose and he gets it all over the bathroom, he has no other symptoms and plays, acts fine. He has been to the vet repeatedly and they cannot find a problem and say he does not scream there. Could anyone give us a clue what is happening, she is very concerned. Thank you for your help. Stephanie |

Stephanie Has the vet checked his anal sacs? If they become clogged, it can be quite painful for the cat to poop, and in the worst case it can lead to a nasty abscess. The good news is that this problem is easy for the vet to "fix". -Sandra Good idea. I've never had a cat that had this trouble, so I don't think about it. I did, however, have a dog some 40 years ago that did -- he got really "smelly". |
