What causes cat anal odor?
It may be caused by perianal bursitis, which is caused by blockage and infection of the anal sacs, also known as anal glands. The special position of the anus itself contains many bacteria. When the perianal sac is blocked, the bacteria multiply and cause inflammation. Dogs are more likely to suffer from this disease, and cats occasionally suffer from this disease.
When suffering from perianal bursitis, there will be symptoms such as blood stains, buttocks often rubbing against the ground, and difficulty in defecation. Cats have mild symptoms and are not easy to detect in the early stages of the disease. Careful observation is required when problems arise. If perianal bursitis is not discovered and treated in time, it will further deteriorate and develop into rectal tumors, etc. Therefore, if abnormalities are found, timely examination and treatment are required.
Let cats take in balanced nutrients in their diet, and pay attention to their gastrointestinal absorption and excretion to avoid problems such as soft stools. Give cats enough exercise in daily activities to allow them to exercise their muscles to avoid being unable to drain glandular secretion fluid smoothly.
The anal gland secretions of healthy cats are liquid and are light yellow or light brown. If the secretion appears to be paste-like, or dark brown or black in color, with blood or pus, then the cat’s anal glands may have been infected and inflamed, and it is recommended to take the cat to the doctor in time.
