Samwise- who is a year old, has been scooting his butt on the floor for a couple of months. Googled it and found out it was an anal sac problem. So he went in today for his yearly checkup, and I had the vet tech check his glands.. The right one was empty but the left one was full. Paid to have them express it (not a pleasant experience for Sam, who also got shots today too).
Vet kind of answered questions about this. I guess if he scoots his butt on the floor any more I've got to take him over and get his glands expressed. It's $22 each time he has it done, not a horrible price for him to be comfy. But is there anything else I could feed him to see if I can take care of this problem myself? The vet is NOT his favorite place and I'd have to have to start taking him there on a regular basis to take care of his backside.
They both eat IAMS wet food (Pate- it's the only thing HRH HollyHeart will eat)
. Science Diet indoor for cats 1-7 yrs old. Vet said something about a fiber supplement- would that help?
Thanks!
