Clinically, stool refers to feces. There is no blood in kitten feces but there is blood in the anus. It is considered to be caused by constipation, trauma, intestinal parasitic infection, anal sinusitis, anal fissure, anal polyps and other reasons. If it is simply caused by constipation, it is a normal physiological phenomenon and does not require medication. If there are other symptoms in the anus, such as anal itching, pain, swelling, etc., then the bleeding is abnormal and needs to be treated with drugs and surgery. If the condition is more serious, it is recommended that the owner take the kitten to a regular pet hospital for relevant examinations, and then receive treatment according to his or her own situation.
1. Constipation
If the cat’s feces is relatively dry, it may damage the anal mucosa during defecation, causing rupture and bleeding, but it will not cause blood in the feces, which is a normal phenomenon and does not require medication. You can use iodophor to wipe the local area to prevent local inflammation.
2. Trauma
If you are accidentally scratched by a sharp object during defecation, it will cause damage to the perianal mucosa, causing bleeding, accompanied by anal swelling and pain. Hydrogen peroxide solution needs to be used for disinfection, and antibiotics and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs need to be taken as prescribed by the doctor. Since the kitten is relatively young, the drugs need to be crushed and taken with water.
3. Intestinal Parasitic Infection
If a large number of parasites are infected in the intestines, there will be no blood in the stool and the anus will rupture and bleed. You need to follow the doctor's advice and take internal anthelmintics for pets. In daily life, you need to clean the kitten's skin and bathe the kitten regularly. It is recommended to wash the kitten 1 to 2 times a week.
4. Perianalitis
This disease is an inflammatory disease. The kitten’s anal glands have not been cleaned for a long time, resulting in inflammation, suppuration and even ulceration and bleeding in the anal glands. Cats suffer from long-term diarrhea, loose feces, and redness and swelling in the perianal area due to intestinal diseases, causing inflammation of surrounding tissues. It is necessary to take pet-specific antibiotic treatment under the guidance of a doctor, and the local area needs to be rinsed with water to relieve anal discomfort.
5. Anal fissure
It is considered to be caused by long-term diarrhea and anal canal stenosis, which will increase the pressure in the anal canal, causing skin rupture and bleeding, and usually does not cause blood in the stool. . The damaged perianal skin needs to be repaired surgically under the supervision of a doctor.
6. Anal polyps
If you suffer from anal polypsMeat may cause local damage during defecation, causing skin and mucous membrane damage and bleeding. Polyps need to be surgically removed and treated under the guidance of a doctor. After the operation, you need to adjust your eating habits, eat smaller meals more often, and avoid overeating.
During the treatment, local skin hygiene needs to be done well. You can use flowing water to rinse the anal area, which can prevent bacterial invasion and facilitate local recovery.
