Hello everyone:

We are very worried because Lola, my brother's kitty is sick. I'm not quite sure, but I think she must have an urinary track infection. She pees normally, but we you look at that area, it is red and inflamed and looks wet and she has aweird discharge, it looks like pus, but it is darker and it has a an awful odor. My brother and his wife are both very worried and I told them to take her to the vet first thing tomorrow.

We took her temperature and it was normal and she is very active and eating well.

Does anyone has had an experience like this with a kitty?

thaks in advance.

Tammy

I wonder if it could be an impacted or infected anal gland...either way she DOES need to see the vet. If for any reason she stops eating or seems in pain, she should see an ER vet.

Good call, Kluchetta. It does sound like that to me, possibly infected, too.

I never thought of that, but it makes sense. Too bad our vet is no opened on Sundays, but they will take her first thing in the morning.

Thank you

Fighting for ferals in NW NJ!
My guess is she needs antibiotics and an anti-inflammatory at a minimum. At least he caught it quickly and she'll get attention ASAP!

Yes, thank you
They are panicking because it is Sunday and they can't take her today. She has never been sick and they are going crazy about it. Hopefully is nothing serious.

HUgs, tammy
