My cat is crying in pain and has something stuck in his anus. Help!

You can try to ease it out. Use some vaseline and gently massage the outside of the rectum to stimulate her. If this doesn't work, then visit your vet to have some help here; however, unless it is stuck to hair it should come out on its own. You can also try a warm saline only enema to see if that can loosen things up. Best of luck to you and I hope that you get Fluffy comfortable soon! Take care.

No, I would not attempt to remove a potential foreign body on your own as it could cause tearing or internal injury. It is best to seek care immediately from your vet or an emergency clinic so they can safely sedate and remove the item.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Mr. Whiskers. He does seem to have an abnormality with his anus. He will need to see his veterinarian. He may be constipated and straining to defecate. He could also have intestinal parasites causing him to strain. If the condition is allowed to progress, he develop a prolapsed rectum. This becomes more serious. If his meow has changed, that could be a symptom of an upper respiratory infection. His veterinarian will be able to address both issues. I hope this information helps!

It sounds like Victor is constipated. This could be caused by a foreign body, not enough fiber in the diet, GI polyps, or impacted anal sacs. Given that he is crying in pain, I would take him into the vet right away. He may need an enema or laxative to help him pass feces, and the vet can diagnose the cause of the constipation.

Oh no, this isn't good, poor Coco! In this case, he needs to see a vet as this stool may need to be manually extracted. Please do not attempt this yourself, a nd take him into a vet immediately. Best of luck.

Poor Nugget probably has a sore and inflamed little anus from her issues last week. If she's had any issues with diarrhea or straining in the litterbox, then she may need to see a vet for the proper diagnosis and medication. She could need a food change, or probiotics added to her diet, or just simply to be dewormed. Hope that helps!

Your cat could be severely constipated and the straining can make him nauseous. For severe constipation, your pet should be seen by a vet. Hard stool building up in the colon stretches it out of shape, and it also causes stretching of the muscles around the anus, causing perianal hernias that trap the collected feces, effectively making a plug. Your pet may need more than one enema and even manual extraction of the feces in order to relieve this episode. To help avoid this in the future, you can add Miralax to the food. Miralax is a very gentle, easy to give treatment for constipation, available over the counter at any pharmacy. The dose of Miralax is 1 tsp per 50 lbs mixed in with food once a day. You can also add a tablespoon of vegetable or olive oil to his food once daily, or add a couple of teaspoons of canned pumpkin (not pie filling) to his food daily.
