While I'm dealing issues with my other cat, I noticed something about my youngest.
Charlie will be two very soon. I had a casual conversation with my vet when I was there for my other cat about how he has always been fairly aggressive when I hold him. If I pick Charlie up and have my arm under his butt supporting him, there is a change that he will lunge at my face and bite me. The vet mentioned that it was possible he might have swollen anal glands or something else that makes him bottom hurt.
This evening, when I was moving him from a chair, I noticed that he has a small pouch just above his genitals on his belly. When it is touched, he freaks out. It is mushy to the touch and I have to wonder....could my boy have an inguinal hernia?
