Cat anal glands problems?

I think my cat could be having problems with her anal glands.

It began with her constipation a few days ago (bloody stools, straining to poop). In the beginning along with the constipation she had some small white discharges (weren't that common) and I was told it was probably involved with the constipation. Her constipation isn't very active anymore but the discharges still are. The discharges are more pinkish now than before. 

Could this be the constipation triggering some problems with her anal glands? I was told that the discharges could be coming from her anal glands if there are any problems with it, and I assumed her constipation may have triggered it. She doesn't really have any problems besides that - her eating/drinking is normal, she is very active (last night I found her playing around a lot and hunting insects), and she tends to climb our fence like usual.

Any thoughts would be appreciated. Here's a picture of her droppings.

What are you feeding your kitty?  Dry or wet?

Dry food.

Bump

By the way if it helps she gave birth about around 4-5 weeks ago. Could my cat still be having discharges a month after giving birth?

Your cat definitely needs to see a vet. That is not normal discharge and looks uncomfortable.

A cat that gave birth a month ago should not have any discharge.

The other issue is that she should not be going outside at all right now. The kittens are extremely vulnerable to diseases and parasites. Mom can also get pregnant again any time now, even without going into heat.

If your kitty has recently given birth and is having this discharge, she needs to be at the vet immediately. She could have an infection in her uterus that can be fatal if left untreated.  If she's not recently given birth and she's not spayed, then she could still have an active infection and it is still imperative that she get to the vet immediately.  This discharge is not normal for a kitty. Most kitties with anal gland issues tend to scoot after they've been in the litter box.  I would change her diet to mostly canned food to help soften the stools if she's been constipated.

Could the discharges come from the constipation alone? Also I don't think the discharges were because she gave birth, it was just a possible suggestion.

No, that is not normal discharge for constipation. She needs to see a vet. Is that possible?

It's very serious that your cat is bleeding. Would you consider surrendering her to a no-kill shelter along with the kittens? If not, can you find a vet that will work with you on a payment plan? Apply for care credit? I think you need to act with more urgency here.

Call your vet and see if they can help. Many times they will do something and you can work out a payment plan. This is not good. Not from anal gland issues. That usually looks black and has a very foul smell, like a skunk.

Sorry for the late reply. Anyway I will try to get her to a vet. I took this picture earlier and there's something swollen on here. Can anyone maybe identify what it is?

It's too hard to see from that photo, but something is really not right. She really, really needs to see a vet.
