A few months ago I noticed that my cat had a black spot on her anus. I thought this was dried feces, but I couldn't wipe it off. It's still there today, and I've come to find out that this is most likely her anal glands. I can see two blackspots, one at 4 o'clock and another at 8, exactly where they would be expected. One of them is just a small black dot, however, the other is bigger and is a little smaller than the size of a pea (though no the same shape). They're both black and have been there from quite some time.
Is it normal to see them like that, and having one bit a bit larger? I haven't noticed any symptoms, but I know cat's can be good at hiding that. She uses her litter box fine and doesn't scoot or anything.
Her yearly vet visit isn't for two more months. I would prefer to wait till then to ask her vet about it however, I know how serious issues with the anal glands can be.
Is there any reason to be concerned? Do I need to go to a vet right away or can I wait a couple of months till her yearly visit?
Thanks
