My cat's third eyelids show, bloody butt. How can I get her vet help?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 6 lbs

I am in a very difficult situation with my cat. Her third eyelids are showing covering about half of her eye in both eyes and her butt looks bloody. My mom says she has been pooping all over the house so she is making me keep her outside but I don't have a place for her to stay outside. My mom won't take her to the vet because she knows it will be expensive and she doesn't want to pay for her. She is my cat and I need to get her help before something happens. Please help me

Poor kitty. Cookie may have an eye infection, a lesion on her nerve (Horners syndrome) or an allergic reaction. However the bloody butt is something completely different and requires a complete exam to determine if this is coming form the stool or anal glands. All of these conditions will requires a vet visit I'm afraid to get to find out the cause and then prescribe medications to treat. There aren't any over the counter options that will help Cookie. Perhaps if your mom had financial options to assist her, she would be more willing to try and at least get Cookie seen by your local vet. Here are some financial resources to try. I hope that you are able to get Cookie seen soon and that she has a full recovery. Best wishes.
