I have a 16 plus year old Rag Doll mix kitty who has been a diabetic for over 10 years, she is my little trooper
and a joy to us. Past few weeks she has had some anal gland issues. She has had some like 8 yrs ago but healed up
with one round of anti b's. This time I noticed she was having some issues and looking back they as she was laying down saw something draining so I pressed with a warm soft paper towel and much yellow liquid came out. Vet visit lead to some Clavamox which I couldn't get down her very well at all, and it
made her sick so back to the vet and she got a Convenia shot, which scared me since I read some ppl don't like to give them to
their cats but mine has had one few times before for teeth removal ( sugar cats lose teeth). Anyway week went by still draining so
that didn't help one bit. Next trip 3rd time to vet now shes taking something made just for cats Orbox every 24 hours, a week goes by tomorrow
and she is still draining same amount of liquid NON SMELLY MIND YOU... so I gently squeeze out the right one only. NOW I GUESS I am thinking I need to keep them drained for the infection to heal up? I mean its not working with anti B's. Im so worried about her.. shes hiding most of the day, a little better cuz
before it she was hiding all day and lost some weight, now shes at least eating again, and her insulin shots are back on track with her regular
eating. Will warm compresses and few times a day of gentle pressing to expel the yellow fluid help her get rid of this infection? Shes been going
to the same VET her entire life, she is a CAT ONLY VET, wonder why she didn't tell me to use warm compresses on her daily as I read online?
ANYONE have any help for me? I want to put some topical anti Bs on her bum too but VET said not needed. I need some help her hope you all
can help me and my sweet baby girl!! Taking care of an insulin depend cat is hard enough hate to have this tossed into the mix.. THANKS SO MUCH
