Kitten's anal protrusion and redness

Causes of anal redness and protrusion in cats:

1. Anal prolapse due to relaxed anal sphincter muscles.
2. Anal gland issues.
3. Repeated diarrhea.
4. Parasitic infection within the cat's body.

When a cat exhibits this symptom, the owner should take the cat to a pet hospital for examination and treatment.

Red and protruding anus in kittens

The appearance of this condition depends on the cause.

1. Observe if it's related to the anal glands, such as anal gland inflammation or prolapse.
2. Severe diarrhea.
3. Parasitic infection.

No matter what the cause, it's essential to focus on cleaning and disinfecting. If the cat is itchy, prevent it from rubbing against the ground. Use iodine to disinfect and prevent infection, and go to the hospital as soon as possible for treatment.

Parasitic infection symptoms in kittens

The symptoms vary depending on the type of parasite.

1. Infection with roundworms, tapeworms, and hookworms can cause vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal distension, weight loss, anemia, and more. In severe cases, the cat may vomit or defecate parasites, which can lead to intestinal obstruction or neuritis.
2. Infection with coccidia, trichomonads, and giardia can cause bloody, mucoid, fetid paste-like or semi-solid stools.

How to remove parasites in kittens

Cats can have both internal and external parasites. Choose different deworming methods based on the type of parasite. External deworming usually involves applying topical drops directly to the cat's skin. Internal deworming usually involves administering oral tablets that are absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract. Clinical deworming usually involves using broad-spectrum anthelmintics, which are primarily used for preventive purposes. If the parasite species is confirmed, select the appropriate dewormer.
