The cat is bleeding from under the tail, from the anus: what is the reason and what to do?

The appearance of discharge from under a cat's tail should not go unnoticed by the owner. The appearance of blood in the area of ​​the tail root may indicate the beginning of a pathological process in the body, or be a sign of incipient estrus.

It is important to promptly detect other characteristic symptoms, observe the general condition and behavior of the animal, and also contact a veterinarian for an accurate diagnosis of what is happening. It is quite problematic to independently identify the cause of blood discharge from under the tail, and self-medication is absolutely unacceptable.

How dangerous are polyps in the intestine? Can they transform into cancer? What symptoms indicate intestinal polyps? How to find them? Do they always need to be removed? What types of operations are there? Where can I have a colonoscopy and surgery in Moscow?

Polyps are benign neoplasms on the intestinal mucosa. They can have different sizes and shapes (pedunculated, broad-based), and can be single or multiple. A polyp is not cancer, but over time it can transform into a malignant tumor.

The risk of intestinal polyps is increased in people over 50 years of age, smokers, overweight, type II diabetes (if sugar levels are not properly controlled), and a family history (if close relatives have been diagnosed with polyps or intestinal cancer).

There are different types of intestinal polyps, the three most common are:

• Adenomatous. Occurs in 2/3 of all cases. According to statistics, approximately half of people aged 60 years and older have at least one adenomatous polyp measuring 1 cm or more. This type of polyp most often undergoes malignant transformation.
• Serrated. The risk of such a polyp degenerating into cancer depends on its size and location. If the polyp is small and located in the lower part of the large intestine, the risks are low. If the polyp is large and located in the upper part of the intestine, the likelihood of malignancy is quite high.
• Inflammatory. These are not exactly “real” polyps. They occur in inflammatory bowel diseases, such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. The likelihood of malignant transformation is low, but in general these diseases increase the risk of cancer.

Warning

It is worth remembering that you need to be very careful when cleaning your cat’s anal glands at home. Treatment of inflammation can also be carried out in veterinary clinics, especially if there is no experience or desire to do this. Problems can await not only squeamish owners - the process itself often causes difficulties:

• under the influence of fear and pain, the animal can seriously injure the owner, who did not secure it firmly enough;
• There are many vessels and nerve endings intertwined around the anus; inept actions can injure them, which will lead to a deterioration in the pet’s health.

If you still need to carry out the procedure yourself, you should first learn from a specialist, ask questions, clarify the technique and procedure.

The frequency of cleaning is individual in each case. For some animals, it is enough to do this once, while others have to cleanse the glands regularly.

It is very important to pay attention to your pet's behavioral habits. If there is increased attention to the back of the body, it is worth checking it for symptoms of inflammation of the glands. On average, sick animals need to clean their anal sacs once every six months, while healthy animals cope with this on their own

On average, sick animals need to clean their anal sacs once every six months, while healthy animals cope with this on their own.

Prevention

A healthy lifestyle is a prevention against many diseases, and those that cause pathological discharge from the urethra are no exception. That is why preventive measures in this case are as follows:

• A balanced diet, minimizing the consumption of fatty and spicy foods, preservatives and carcinogens, which create a serious burden on the kidneys and bladder;
• Eliminating the risk of body hypothermia by wearing warm, comfortable clothing that reliably protects the lower body during the cold season;
• Elimination of stressful situations and excessive physical activity;
• Quitting consumption of alcoholic beverages and smoking;
• Compliance with personal hygiene rules;
• Refusal to wear underwear made of synthetic materials that can cause an allergic reaction.

Contact the specialists of the CELT clinic when the first symptoms of the disease appear: your treatment will be even faster and more successful if it is started in a timely manner. Save yourself the discomfort: contact CELT!

Diagnosis and treatment

Diagnosis and treatment The appearance of bloody discharge under the tail, not associated with a physiological condition - estrus, requires contacting a qualified doctor for the necessary help

There are a large number of reasons for the appearance of blood in the tail area and it is important to accurately determine the main one, which led to secondary symptoms.

Before going to the veterinary hospital, the pet owner can apply cold to the abdominal area and also give the pet complete rest. Cold helps relieve pain, narrow the lumen of blood vessels and stop bleeding for a short period.

Diagnosis of the pathological condition comes down to the following points:

• taking a general blood test from a vein;
• conducting a biochemical blood test to determine dysfunction of internal organs;
• analysis of urine and feces;
• ultrasonography;
• radiography.

The main task of the doctor is to stop the bleeding, find out the cause of the development and prescribe appropriate treatment for the underlying pathology. In case of uterine bleeding caused by injury or inflammation, surgical intervention is more often performed, the purpose of which is resection of the uterus (hysterotomy).

Doctors recommend sterilization with complete removal of the reproductive organs of animals that have reached sexual maturity and have no breeding value. Hysterotomy for bleeding from the uterus is also used for physiological abortion. This is due to the fact that applying ligatures to large blood vessels is always associated with risks. It is easier to remove the reproductive organ and appendages, thereby preventing the development of complications.

Malignant neoplasms in the rectum or other parts of the large intestine are treated surgically, and are also supplemented by taking chemotherapy drugs that inhibit the growth of a malignant tumor.

Discharge from the urethra: diagnosis

Diagnosis of discharge from the urinary canal involves the following:

• Medical examination of the perineum/penis to identify rashes, discharge or injuries to the penis;
• Conducting palpation and assessing the density, size and mobility of the lymph nodes in the groin;
• Conducting a digital examination of the prostate in men to obtain secretions and examine them;
• Collection of smears from the urethra for laboratory tests;
• Urethroscopy to assess the condition of the canal mucosa;
• Ultrasound examination of the pelvic organs;
• General blood and urine analysis;
• CT scan.

The cat is bleeding

There are different situations when kittens, cats and cats start bleeding and here you need to know what happens and why in most cases. Such knowledge allows you to immediately decide on first aid, and also allows you to roughly understand how the treatment of the problem that has arisen will proceed.

It is clear that the article is purely informational, since treatment can be prescribed only after the cat has been examined by a veterinarian, since no one undertakes to make a diagnosis in absentia.

A cat has bleeding before birth, during pregnancy, from the uterus, during childbirth, cannot give birth, after birth, what to do and why this happens

A pregnant cat started bleeding before giving birth, which means there was a miscarriage. This is possible if the cat is still very young, has been injured, or has contracted an infectious disease. The cat's owner may not even notice that the cat has miscarried, since the cat licks and eats the remains of the fetus.

If the fetus is large or does not lie correctly in the womb, then the cat cannot give birth for a long time. You need to lubricate the cat’s vulva with soapy water and, wearing sterile gloves, use your finger to guide the kitten in the desired direction. If the birth is prolonged and the cat is exhausted, you need to urgently call a veterinarian. During childbirth there should be no blood, since the cat gnaws the umbilical cord itself, but if blood still flows, then you need to cut the umbilical cord with sterile scissors and tie it.

If a cat bleeds after giving birth, tissue has ruptured. For minor bleeding, it is enough to give the cat a hemostatic drug. If the blood flows for a long time and in large quantities, then surgery is needed. The cause of heavy bleeding may be an infection or perhaps a fetus remaining in the uterus. Urgent surgery and antibiotic treatment is needed

Symptoms of uterine bleeding

What symptoms indicate bleeding? With hidden bleeding, the cat becomes lethargic, inactive, and has an impaired appetite. Severe shortness of breath and increased fatigue appear. The temperature on the skin of the paws is significantly lower than the body. The abdomen is dense, enlarged, the mucous membranes are pale. Symptoms increase gradually over a period of several days to several weeks.

If there is obvious bleeding, the cat coughs up blood, vomits, and the stool becomes liquid with bloody streaks. Bloody discharge from the loop and blood in the urine are observed. It is important to immediately consult a doctor if the symptoms listed above are present, as well as if the bleeding continues for more than 15 minutes and the cat has significant blood loss after it stops.

What is hemorrhoids confused with?

Inflammation of the glands of the paraanal area - in the anal area there are 2 anal glands, which are the source of secretion for marking the territory and for antiseptic action after defecation. When the excretory ducts are blocked, abscesses form, which can rupture and cause bleeding. The main treatment consists of removing pus from the ducts.

Rectal prolapse - occurs when the anal sphincter muscles fail, during difficult childbirth in a cat and frequent diarrhea. In appearance, the prolapsed intestine resembles an oblong cylinder of bright scarlet or bluish-burgundy color, which swells rapidly from compression by the sphincter muscles. This pathology requires mandatory surgical treatment and immediate contact with a veterinary clinic.

Discharge from the urethra: treatment

The treatment method in this case directly depends on the cause that caused such a phenomenon as pathological discharge from the urethra. It is important to understand that self-treatment can cause complications and is therefore unacceptable. Discharge can occur due to the penetration of various types of pathogens, which must be combated using different methods. Most often, drug therapy involves the use of antibiotics, but their selection should be carried out on an individual basis. As a rule, the following means are used:

In addition, patients are recommended to wash their genitals with decoctions of knotweed, chamomile, calendula or special antiseptic solutions. Warming applications and electrophoresis give good results.

The main causes of bleeding from the anus

When an owner notices bloody discharge from a cat’s anus, it is urgent to find out the cause of this condition. It should be remembered that delay in treatment can lead to serious consequences and even death of the pet. Blood can not only ooze out, but also accumulate inside the body. Such processes are extremely dangerous. Among the main reasons why a cat bleeds from the anus are the following factors:

Poor nutrition. Especially often, a negative condition accompanied by the flow of blood from the cat’s anus occurs in small kittens. Many owners make the mistake of introducing only dry food into the diet from the first days. It is difficult for a weak stomach to cope with dry food; as a result, food particles enter undigested parts of the intestine, where they injure the mucous membrane. As a result, the cat has bleeding from the anus, or obvious blood clots are observed in the stool; Inflammation of the paraanal glands. Quite common in adult cats. The paraanal glands are located near the anus and serve to secrete a foul-smelling secretion, a very viscous consistency, which must be excreted along with the feces. But when the glands become inflamed, the process is disrupted. As a result, cats begin to actively rub their butts on the floor and bite themselves under the tail to activate the glands and mechanically release secretory mucus. During all actions, animals often inflict wounds on themselves that begin to bleed. If an illness is detected, you should take the cat to a veterinary clinic for examination. The doctor will prescribe anti-inflammatory therapy and also disinfect bleeding wounds; Pregnancy. There are two ways in which a cat’s body develops during pregnancy. The first is the norm, the second is a sign of a serious condition in which the animal may have a miscarriage or even death. In any case, if a pregnant cat discharges blood from the anus for no reason, or feces with blood are detected, then it is necessary to take the animal to a veterinary hospital as quickly as possible

With normal development, bleeding is considered normal if the blood is bright scarlet or red-brown in color and flows for no more than 8-10 minutes. It is very important to pay attention to the smell of the discharge (if it is not foul, then it is normal), as well as the volume of blood ( should be no more than two tablespoons). In other cases, bleeding during pregnancy indicates a miscarriage or a frozen pregnancy. The cat urgently needs the help of a veterinarian and surgery.

Possible reasons

The reasons why a cat bleeds from under its tail are quite varied. One of the main reasons is the onset of sexual heat or estrus (heat). Estrus is a physiological process in the body of a healthy cat that occurs in the appropriate period.

The beginning of estrus is a kind of signal that the animal is ready for mating and further procreation. The appearance of blood in small quantities released from the area of ​​the pet's loop is not dangerous, but indicates puberty.

In addition to physiological ones, there are a number of other reasons why a cat bleeds from under its tail. The main ones are:

• Inflammatory pathological processes in the gastrointestinal tract. The nature and extent of the lesions can only be determined after a thorough examination in a veterinary clinic using special equipment and tests. The appearance of blood under the tail in some cases is a symptom of tumor processes in the rectum, damage to the large intestine, or trauma to the paraanal glands.
• Bleeding in the loop area is possible due to damage to the uterine arteries. Occurs with inflammation of the endometrium, neoplasms of a malignant and benign nature, pyometra. In addition to blood under the tail, the animal experiences general weakness, apathy, and increased body temperature. It all depends on the degree of the pathological process.
• Spontaneous termination of pregnancy. Natural abortion is more often diagnosed in the early stages of gestation, so that the owner sometimes does not notice dramatic changes in the pet’s behavior. The cat, being a naturally clean creature, constantly licks the loop area, removing secretions. Kittens that die in the womb do not always emerge completely from the uterine cavity, and inflammation processes are accompanied by the release of large amounts of blood. In some cases, when the pathology is neglected, purulent discharge appears.
• Uterine bleeding due to mechanical injuries. As a result of injury to the large uterine arteries, the cat drips blood from under its tail, and the general condition of the animal deteriorates sharply. Large blood loss can be fatal in the absence of proper care.
• Formation of stones in the genitourinary system. The development of urolithiasis occurs in representatives of domestic cats often in the clinical practice of veterinarians. The disease progresses with violations of the diet and consumption of drinking water that has high hardness. The release of stones provokes trauma to the mucous membrane and bleeding. The condition of an animal with urolithiasis requires immediate intervention by a veterinary specialist.

Care and recovery period

In case of internal bleeding, the pet needs to be given maximum attention, since this is a lot of stress for the animal.

If there is a violation, it is important to place the cat in a warm environment where he will be comfortable and safe. If the blood loss is associated with a fracture, then immobilize the cat’s injured limb and quickly deliver it to a veterinary clinic.

Equally important is post-operative care to help your cat recover faster. To do this, the pet is given a clean and warm place, is not allowed to suffer from hypothermia and is on a diet, especially if the development of internal bleeding is affected by gastrointestinal pathologies.

Symptoms of benign and malignant tumors

The nature of the tumor will be determined by histological examination in a veterinary laboratory.

Benign and malignant tumors are characterized by different symptoms and degrees of damage.

• A benign neoplasm has a connective tissue capsule that separates the lump from nearby tissues. It is this anatomical structure of the oncological formation that is successfully used for surgical treatment. A benign tumor does not metastasize to other organs and does not grow into neighboring tissues, but as it grows, the lumps compress nearby organs
• Malignant or cancerous neoplasms are characterized by very rapid growth and the ability to metastasize to internal organs. Cancerous tumors grow into nearby healthy cells and degenerate them. Cancer in cats cannot be cured; even after surgery, pets soon die from metastases.

Reasons why a cat bleeds from under its tail

Blood may come from an animal's anus and from a cat's vagina. In some cases this is not a pathology. Females reach puberty and begin estrus between 6 months and 1 year of age. Bloody discharge mixed with clear mucus is observed for 5-15 days, sometimes a little longer (depending on age and breed).

During this period, the cat is attracted to the cat and they must mate. As soon as conception occurs, estrus stops. Cats that give birth go into heat on average 2 times a year.

If the pet is not mated, then the cycles will be more frequent - every 2-3 months.

Bloody discharge from the vagina occurs in cats after birth, for 1-3 weeks and is also considered normal. If pus is mixed into the blood or there is too much discharge that the cat does not have time to lick itself, this is already a disease. A kitten may also start bleeding.

Pathological reasons why an animal bleeds from the vagina:

• Frozen pregnancy (the fetus dies and inflammation begins).
• Endometriosis. Infectious lesions or hormonal imbalances cause inflammation in the uterus.
• Pyrometer. Purulent inflammation. Pus and blood accumulate in the uterine cavity. In the closed form of the disease, when the discharge remains inside, the consequences are very severe.
• Vaginitis. Inflammatory processes of various etiologies occurring in the vaginal area.
• Geometra. Accumulation of blood in the uterus caused by injury or disease of an inflammatory or hormonal nature.

When blood discharge from a pet's genitals is not caused by estrus or the postpartum period, urgent veterinary consultation and diagnostic examination are necessary. The described diseases require immediate treatment prescribed by a specialist.

Pyometra

A disease of cats that occurs when the level of progesterone in the blood increases. Leads to purulent inflammation of the uterus. Cats that have never given birth and are receiving antisex drugs to suppress estrus are susceptible.

The disease can be open or closed, depending on the open/closed cervix. The open version is characterized by purulent or bloody discharge. It is easier for the cat to tolerate due to the fact that the discharge comes out through an open lumen in the cervix. With the closed version there is no discharge. Pus and blood accumulate in the uterus. And since at an early stage, closed pyometra is asymptomatic, this will lead to intoxication, rupture of the organ and death of the cat.

Symptoms of the disease:

• deterioration of general condition;
• lack of appetite, vomiting;
• increase in abdominal volume;
• active licking of the belly.

In most cases, removal of the cat's uterus and ovaries is an effective treatment. After surgery, a course of antibiotic treatment is carried out, as well as maintenance therapy. In some cases, drug therapy is allowed. However, it is worth considering that it can lead to temporary improvement with further relapse.

What leads to an increase in hematocrit

Thick blood can be caused by various pathological processes. Similar factors provoke an increase in hematocrit in men and women. But in the first case, the problem under consideration occurs more often due to the reasons described above.

Dehydration

Dehydration occurs due to:

• insufficient fluid intake into the human body;
• renal pathologies;
• course of diabetes mellitus;
• fever;
• living in a region with high ambient temperatures;
• continuous vomiting caused by severe intoxication or other pathological processes;
• persistent diarrhea resulting from food poisoning;
• chronic pyelonephritis.

This reaction of the body is designed to normalize the patient’s condition, resulting in increased sweating and frequent urination.

A number of drugs (mostly synthetic drugs) with long-term use have a negative effect on the condition of the blood: its plasma gradually loses its liquid part, which ultimately leads to an increase in hematocrit. Such phenomena can be caused by:

• drugs used to treat pathologies of the adrenal cortex (for example, hydrocortisone);
• contraceptives taken orally;
• diuretics;
• medications intended to restore erectile function.

In case of gastric, intestinal and liver pathologies, some of the metabolic products are insufficiently oxidized and enter the circulatory system in this form. This leads to an increase in the content of formed elements, including glucose, while maintaining the same plasma concentration.

Impaired functioning of the respiratory system causes a decrease in the amount of oxygen entering the body. The lack of this substance provokes the onset of hypoxia and blood oxidation.

The latter circumstance negatively affects the viability of formed elements: they begin to accumulate in the vessels. As a result, against the background of hypoxia, the process of breakdown of blood cells and the release of products that worsen the course of the pathological condition are accelerated.

Infection of the body

Infection of the body with various infections or parasitic life forms leads to activation of the immune system. Its cells penetrate into the circulatory system, where they subsequently die, thereby increasing the plasma concentration.

This process is due to the fact that some leukocytes are constantly located in the submucosal layer of the intestine. This organization allows you to avoid the state of overcrowding of blood vessels. However, in case of helminthic or infectious pathology, leukocytes return to the bloodstream, as a result of which the viscosity of the liquid increases.

Strong experiences lead to an increase in the level of various components in the bloodstream: cholesterol, glucose and other elements. At the same time, to increase hematocrit, it is necessary that a person regularly experiences nervous strain. Episodic stress has little effect on the state of the circulatory system.

Other factors

There are quite a few factors that provoke the appearance of thick blood. These also include:

• negative environmental influences, smoking, exposure to carbon dioxide and exhaust gases;
• antiphospholipid syndrome;
• erythremia, in which the level of red blood cells increases;
• leukemia;
• myeloma;
• cirrhosis of the liver;
• hepatitis;
• pancreatitis;
• phlebeurysm;
• thermal burns.

Poor nutrition is another fairly common cause of blood thickening. The appearance of this consequence is explained by the fact that after products have entered the body, the immune system releases many cells to cleanse them of foreign elements. That is, after each meal a person’s blood becomes a little thicker.

In a newborn, blood parameters differ significantly from those in adults and children over the age of one year. They normalize over time. In particular, newborns have high levels of hemoglobin and red blood cells.

These phenomena are due to the fact that the child’s body finds itself in an unfamiliar environment and reacts accordingly. By about a year, all indicators are restored and approach those of adults.

Treatment options

The first thing you need to do is go to the veterinary clinic. There they will conduct a diagnosis and identify the cause of bleeding from the cat’s anus. The doctor will prescribe treatment and give advice on feeding the animal. To make a diagnosis, a stool test is performed and, if necessary, a colonoscopy.

If your pet is infected with parasites, then it is not scary. It can be cured by adjusting the diet and an anthelmintic drug prescribed by a veterinarian. These measures will remove worms from your pet's intestines. The diet is also changed in case of allergies.

If a cat is bleeding from the anus due to an infection, treatment should be carried out with antibiotics. In colitis, the animal's stool contains bloody mucus. It is treated with suppositories, ointment, tannin, and copper sulfate solution. The disease has several forms, so you cannot treat the cat yourself.

Cats may develop thromboembolism. This is a disease in which blood clots and blood clots form. It can develop rapidly. Manifested by diarrhea with blood clots. Usually the prognosis is not favorable. But if detected at the onset stage, it will give the cat a chance to live. Blood from the anus can signal the appearance of a tumor. It can be benign or malignant. It is very difficult to diagnose, especially if the tumor is small. The doctor does not always make the correct diagnosis. To check, it is recommended to do an ultrasound.

Due to intestinal problems: diarrhea, constipation, the mucous membrane is injured and cracks may occur. They can be complicated by hemorrhoids. As feces pass through, they become inflamed. They hurt and bleed. In this case, blood from the anus appears after bowel movement. At an early stage it is treated with suppositories and ointments.

The appearance of blood in a cat's stool may be accompanied by other symptoms.

You also need to pay attention to them in order to make a correct diagnosis.

• The animal began to pee frequently;
• Vomit;
• The cat refuses to eat or eats very little;
• The animal is rapidly losing weight;
• Thirst;
• Lethargy, lack of usual interest in the environment.

In order to find the cause of the bleeding in time and not cause a deterioration in the animal’s condition, you need to contact a veterinarian. A timely diagnosis gives a better chance of recovery. You can’t put it off and risk your cat’s health.

Causes of blood

Discharge of blood from a cat's anus is not a typical phenomenon; it indicates an illness in the animal. It can be caused by various reasons :

• With constipation, blood appears due to damage to the intestines. It is released in small quantities during bowel movements. You need to give your cat a remedy for constipation and lubricate the anus with Vaseline, oil or soap. If there is no blood when the animal goes to the toilet again, then it is not necessary to consult a doctor.
• If blood in the feces is a regular occurrence, then this indicates a serious problem with the cat’s health; in order to treat your pet, you need to find the reason why the disease appeared. The main causes of blood in a cat identified by veterinarians are as follows:
• Allergy;
• Colitis;
• Parasites;
• Pancreatitis;
• Tumor;
• Poisoning;
• Damage to the intestines or anus;
• Thromboembolism.

Bleeding should not be ignored. It can result in complications that are difficult or impossible to treat. Any part of the gastrointestinal tract can bleed. The higher the focus of the disease, the darker the blood released from the anus. If there is a problem with the stomach or upper intestine, it will be dark in color, and if there is a problem with the lower intestine, its color will be scarlet.

Inflammation of the anus in a cat: causes, symptoms and treatment methods

Unlike dogs, cats live indoors in the vast majority of cases. Because of this, it is much easier for animal owners to understand that their pets are suffering from some kind of gastrointestinal disease. Common pathologies of this type include inflammation of the anus in cats. It causes the animal a lot of suffering and makes his life unbearable.

The second name of the disease is proctitis. The final section of the rectum becomes inflamed, the tissues thicken, including due to the infiltration of lymphocytes.

Important! The problem is that proctitis is extremely rare on its own - almost always it is only a consequence of colitis, that is, inflammation of the entire large intestine. When the colon is affected, it loses its ability to absorb moisture from stool, and the disease is often accompanied by severe diarrhea.

Because of this, the animal experiences stress, exhaustion develops, and in severe cases, septic phenomena may occur, which can lead to the death of the animal. The disease affects all breeds of cats, regardless of their age and gender.

When the colon is affected, it loses its ability to absorb moisture from stool, and the disease is often accompanied by severe diarrhea. Because of this, the animal experiences stress, exhaustion develops, and in severe cases, septic phenomena may occur, which can lead to the death of the animal. The disease affects all breeds of cats, regardless of their age and gender.

Chronic colitis

If your pet is bleeding from the anus, his colon may be inflamed. The main signs of chronic colitis, characterized by extensive damage to the digestive tract, frequent relapses and a long course:

• unformed stool with a foul odor and inclusions of mucus and blood;
• increased bowel movements and decreased amount of stool;
• rumbling, bloating and abdominal pain.

The danger of this disease is that affected animals usually appear generally healthy: they eat as usual and maintain a constant body weight. When the pathological process worsens, the pet begins to vomit, body temperature rises and weight decreases.

Folk remedies

The question of how to rid a cat of worms using folk remedies is asked by many owners. In addition to medications, worms can be removed from cats using folk remedies. If the recipes accumulated by the people help, then worms can be found in feces.

It is necessary to consult with your veterinarian before using traditional recipes.

Worms in cats can be expelled by cleansing the intestines.

• Finely chop 6 cloves of garlic.
• Pour 250 ml. water at room temperature.
• Leave for 2 hours.
• Give an enema.

• Peel 300 grams of pumpkin seeds, while preserving the green shell.
• Grind.
• Gradually pour in 50 ml of water at room temperature.
• Add 15 grams of honey.
• Mix.
• Give the resulting infusion to the cat for 1 hour.
• After 30 minutes, do an enema using warm water.

Worms in cats can be expelled with the following herbal mixture.

Take 20 grams:

• Tansy flowers.
• Peppermint.
• Buckthorn bark.
• Wormwood.
• Wild carrot seeds.
• Brew 2 tablespoons of herbal mixture with a glass of boiling water.
• Give 3 tablespoons in the morning for 3 days.

• Squeeze approximately 20 ml of juice from fresh carrots.
• Do it once a day for 7 days.

• Cut a small onion into 4 parts.
• Pour 1 glass of boiled water, but not boiling water.
• Give to your pet in the morning for a week.

What should an owner do if he notices blood under his cat’s tail?

Haemorrhoids

Hemorrhoids are swelling (varicose veins) of the veins of the perianal area of ​​the rectum.

Occurs under the influence of the following factors:

• unbalanced nutrition with a random selection of natural products or ready-made economy class food;
• overfeeding with scraps of meat and fish, constipation and overstrain of hemorrhoidal veins develops;
• obesity;
• treating fried food and confectionery;
• worminess.

Blood is noticed by accident. Sick under the tail. Purple formations protrude from the anus. Droplets of blood are found in the stool.

If ulcers have not formed, the diet is adjusted, the cat is switched to ready-made food of at least a premium class, anthelmintic drugs are used, washed with clean water, lubricated with antiseptic ointment or melted rectal suppositories.

In case of ulcerations, contact a veterinary surgeon. Prevention consists of rational feeding and quarterly deworming.

Anal fissure

It occurs due to constant straining due to constipation or injury from a swallowed inedible object, most often small bones.

After consultation with a veterinarian, topical anti-inflammatory drugs are taken. Prevention methods are the same as for hemorrhoids.

Inflammation of the paraanal glands

Paired glands are located on the sides of the anus and are designed to mark territory, as well as scare away large predatory animals. Suspicion of paraproctitis is caused by excessive licking under the tail. In case of serious lesions, droplets of blood are released.

In an advanced state, suppuration develops and fistulas form. A veterinarian can clean the glands if the owner applies in a timely manner. Prescribe therapeutic food for cats with digestive disorders, containing an increased amount of dietary fiber.

Diet food

If suppuration develops, antimicrobial external, internal or parenteral agents are used. In advanced situations, the paraanal glands are removed. Prevention consists of periodic cleaning of the glands. A cat owner can acquire the skills to remove secretions on their own. Prevention is the same as for hemorrhoids.

Isosporosis

The protozoal disease affects kittens up to six months old in a nursery or shelter with crowded housing, or at home when fed with raw meat contaminated with isospores. An alternative route of infection is eating an infected mouse caught by a teenager or mother. Sick pets refuse food, water, and have bloody diarrhea.

Since parasites enter into a symbiotic relationship with bacteria, treatment consists of the use of coccidiostats and sulfonamide drugs. In case of severe dehydration, plasma substitutes are administered intravenously or subcutaneously. Humans can also become infected with Isosporosis, but the pathogens are species-specific and cat parasites are not dangerous to the host.

To prevent disease, avoid feeding your pets raw meat. Provide comfort and complete feeding.

Anticoagulant poisoning

After the harvest is completed, mice leave the empty fields and settle near human habitation. People carry out deratization and poisoned mice become easy prey for cats. Pets are more sensitive than rodents to the active ingredients of rat poison - anticoagulants.

Blood loses its ability to clot, so after eating prey, the cat develops bloody diarrhea. Other signs are depression, drooling, vomiting, refusal of water and food. If left untreated, the animal dies. The veterinarian prescribes drugs that increase blood clotting, detoxicants, and plasma substitute.

If the cat was saved, but goes hunting again, repeated poisoning ends in death. There is no way to prevent your cat from eating poisoned mice or rats.

What do we have to do?

If your cat is bleeding, you don’t need to agonize over what to do. It is necessary to immediately take the animal to the veterinarian. The specialist will conduct a visual examination and collect anamnesis. The owner will have to talk about the pet’s diet, when blood appears in the stool and other symptoms.

Be sure to inform your doctor about changes in behavior: anxiety during bowel movements, tension, fussiness, etc. If the cat refuses to eat or drink or vomits, tell the veterinarian about this too.

For diagnosis, blood and stool tests are prescribed for helminths and occult blood. The most informative thing is a coprogram. With its help you can study the composition of feces. Sometimes an additional urine test is performed.

In order to determine injuries, an ultrasound or x-ray is prescribed. Colonoscopy may not be performed in every veterinary clinic, but this detailed examination will accurately determine the condition of the intestinal mucosa. It can be used to detect tumors and foreign bodies.

Treatment depends on the diagnosis. If the problem is a viral or infectious disease, then a course of medication is prescribed. Therapy should be comprehensive and consist of drugs from different groups. The specific medications and dosages are determined by the veterinarian.

When helminths are detected, antiparasitic agents are used. They must be taken in a course, which will destroy not only helminths, but also their larvae, which hatch from the eggs later.

For problems with the gastrointestinal tract, a diet and medications with enzymes are prescribed. They improve digestion and support the functioning of the pancreas. If there is wool in the stool, then special pastes are given to remove lumps from the stomach.

For poisoning and bleeding disorders, hemostatic drugs and vitamin K are used.

For serious injuries or a foreign body in the intestine, surgery is performed. The future life of the pet depends on how quickly it is carried out.

For the diet, use high-quality food of at least premium class or rice porridge with a natural diet. Portions should be small. You should not give smoked, fried, fatty foods. It is useful to add fermented milk products.
