Bonnie had a vet visit today

http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b1...ie-ecollar.jpg

Ruptured anal sac! She was bleeding in her butt area and I thought it
was her anus. She was of course licking it like mad.

I took her in and there was a huge hole next to her rectum - almost as
big as a quarter. And, another smaller lesion next to that. The vet
said her anal sac ruptured and I have antibiotics and some pain
killers for 14 days. She must wear this e-collar too for that length
of time. It is made of vinyl. We must go back after 2 weeks to see if
it healed up properly and also to drain her anal sacs again to see if
they are clogged. I've never had this problem before with a cat. I
don't know if it will reoccur with her or not. Advice?

No advice, just lots of purrs and sympathy for both of you.

She will have to have this ecollar for awhile.

Misty had that problem and yes, for her it did reoccur. We had to keep
an eye on it - a hint it was about to happen again was a lot of licking
in the area. I guess it was bothering her when the abcess swelled up
and she kept licking it. She was older when it started happening,
around 17, but she lived to be 19+. Not a fun problem to have, for you
or her!

Ah, poor baby! Sending loud purrs that healing will be fast and complete.

Well, she's been a trouper. I have to apply warm compresses to her
bottom every 3 hours.

Purrs that it will heal quickly for poor Bonnie. One of my kitties
had to
wear an e-collar just like that one. When I brought her home from the
vet, my kitty Patience was so afraid of her that she stayed under the
couch for more than a day. "Who is that monster?"

Poor baby! She doesn't look very happy with the collar. Purrs for a quick
recovery.
