It turned out to be clogged anal glands.

Rocky has a little infection going on too because of the anal glands being so full. I had never heard him growling threateningly at a human before until yesterday when I heard the vet expressing his glands. He was furious at me the rest of the day yesterday. Poor baby. He's fine today. The vet recommended putting metamucil in his food twice a week to keep his pooh-poohs nice and big so his glands are less likely to get clogged again. Crossing my fingers it doesn't reoccur.

The indignity!
No wonder he's sulking!

Glad to hear you got an answer, even if it's not one he was thrilled to hear!

Well, at least they found out what the problem was... and hopefully it won't occur again. Hope you feel better Rocky!

Goodness, I had my cat's anal glands expelled as well...not pleasant. I'm glad that Rocky is going to be ok.

The sweet boy doesn't stink anymore. Yeah! Pohchoowon - in response to your question, Rocky eats Waltham duck and rice prescription diet, since he was allergic to every other brand I tried. Your babies are adorable. And thanks to all who responded with well wishes. I checked out all of your babies and they are just precious! I tried attaching Rocky's pic, but it's too big. I will have to work on that and try reposting.
