What should I do if my male cat's butt is bleeding?

There are several possible reasons for a dog's butt to bleed. The first is inflammation of the anal glands, which can cause bleeding due to friction with the ground. The second is bleeding caused by the rupture of common anal tumors in elderly dogs. The third is bleeding due to skin disease ulcers. It is recommended to determine the cause of the bleeding and take the correct measures. Do not blindly use medicine, as it may have the opposite effect.

Causes of male cat's butt bleeding

Male cat butt bleeding may be caused by factors such as trauma and infection; it may also be caused by diseases such as hemorrhagic enteritis, gastroenteritis, and feline distemper; or it may be caused by the ingestion of sharp objects that scratch the gastrointestinal tract. It is recommended that the owner first check if there are any wounds near the cat's butt. If so, different treatment measures should be taken according to the size of the wound. If not, it is recommended to take the cat to a pet hospital for inspection.

Symptoms of feline distemper in male cats

Male cats who have not been vaccinated are prone to contracting feline distemper virus. Cats who have just contracted the feline distemper virus will initially show signs of poor mental health and loss of appetite. Some male cats may have a fever, and then begin to vomit and have diarrhea, with a strong smell of feces. Eventually, the cat may begin to bleed in the stool, and in severe cases, it may become dehydrated, which is the highest mortality rate. To avoid male cats contracting feline distemper, it is recommended to get them vaccinated as soon as possible.

Treatment plan for feline distemper

Cats with feline distemper usually have symptoms such as diarrhea and dehydration. The main treatments are as follows:

  1. Pay attention to warmth.
  2. Rehydration: The cat's body is dehydrated and needs to be supplemented with water.
  3. Use antibiotics to prevent secondary infections, commonly using gentamicin for treatment.
  4. Stop vomiting.
  5. Regulate digestion function, as the cat has ingested a large amount of antibiotics and needs to take regulatory drugs.
  6. The choice of metabolic drugs depends on the situation.
