Yeah, sorry about the graphic title, but thats whats going on..
So basically I've had this kitten for about 2 weeks now. When I got her, she had diarrhea, and I didn't know what to do. I spent a lot of money on treatments and finally the metronadozle and marquis mixture seemed to clear up the diarrhea. Problem mostly solved. Here is a link to the old thread about her diarrhea problem, which would definitely help you better understand my situation: http://www.thecatsite.com/t/324655/...dont-know-what-to-do-and-feel-really-stressed
She's had poop stuck to her butthole constantly and i thought it was just because of the diarrhea, which cleared up, but I've noticed that her butt hole is still very dirty and poopy. today i took her to the groomer to have her butt trimmed down so that it might solve the problem, and i could feel comfortable letting her on my furniture and actually spending time with her. the groomer cleaned her all up, there was no poop left and her anus was very clean. Happy about her newfound cleanliness, I decided to finally nap with her on my bed. The nap lasted about an hour. When i woke up and checked her butt, i noticed that already, her anus had formed a crusty brown ring around it, without her even having gone to the bathroom.
im so frustrated because i don't think this is normal, and her diarrhea is gone so why is this still happening?? she doesn't clean herself, either.
I feel like I can't fully feel comfortable cuddling her or being with her because she gets poop on me, on the furniture, and stinks. its really sad because she doesn't get all the affection she deserves and has to sleep alone in the living room, but i can't help being repulsed.
She's on Hill's science diet kitten chow. I switched from wet to dry food about a week ago, and the problem had still been happening with her previous owner.
So what could this be? Is it anal gland juice? how can it appear so quickly on her butt when she had literally been clean 1 hour ago.....? do most cats get this? why won't she clean herself?
im so frustrated, please help! this is my first kitten.
