Anal Scab? (warning, cat booty pic)

[jhibs]

Hello. Anybody got an idea what this is? Part of it turned white at the top. She's 19 and has CKD, on subq fluids past few months. Could this be a gland issue due to dehydration? It's at the top of her anus, while the right gland looks like the culprit maybe, or old age/cleaning issue?

She has acted normal. Nothing out of the ordinary bathroom wise.

It's just poop that your cat hasn't cleaned off.

Hey, thanks for the reply. I did get it off, but it wasn't easy as just wiping it. Is that normal for dried on old poop? Never had experience with something like that so wanted to make sure it wasn't anything more serious. It did leave her a little pink, which i'll keep an eye on though.

It can be normal. It just depends on how thoroughly your kitty cleans.

Okay, thank you very much!
