What's causing my cat's dark anal discharge, gas, and red eyes?

Hello, sorry to hear about Smokey. His eye discharge can be a sign of an upper respiratory tract infection, an eye infection, being dehydrated or having an ulcer. His anus being on protruded can be a sign of him having diarrhea and dehydration most likely. If you are seeing that he seems lethargic, has a low appetite, had vomiting or diarrhea, then he should be seen by a veterinarian immediately, Otherwise, please schedule the next available appointment with your vet to have his eye examined. Hope this helps and best of luck.

That could typically be due either to anal gland infection/inflammation or diarrhoea with liquid feces. A check up is necessary if the signs are not resolving, despite a change in the dietary regime (bland diet with chicken and rice for the next 3-4 days). Antibiotics and anal gland expression may be needed.

This could be mucus in his stool or possibly material from his anal glands. If he is behaving normally, you can offer a bland diet for a few days and minimize stress as much as possible. If the discharge worsens or if Napoleon becomes lethargic, develops diarrhea, stops eating or starts vomiting, then you should have him examined by your veterinarian. A pheromone product, such as Feliway spray or plug in diffusers, may help to decrease any anxiety or stress.

The anal issues are probably from the diarrhea which can be diet related, parasites or an infection. It is not uncommon for kittens to get respiratory infections and have ocular discharge and often sneezing to go with it. It will take some time and medicine to help out. Your vet can deworm and check for parasites the. Provide antibiotics to helo

It could be dis charge from his anal glands. Normally, the glands are emptied during the act of defecation. Sometimes though, the glands become impacted then infected. An abscess will form then eventually rupture and drain. If there is no redness, swelling or discharge around the anus, look for swelling elsewhere. If he is an outdoor cat, a bite wound abscess is a possibility. They can be difficult to spot without a close exam and maybe shaving a swollen area. Ideally, he should be physically examined by your veterinarian. Especially if he is lethargic, feverish or not eating.

Hi, since Grimmy was neutered, it is likely that this mucous is coming from her anus. The drops in the in the second picture look like diarrhoea to me. I think it is better to have Grimmy checked over. In the meantime, you can feed her a bland diet of plain chicken or fish and rice. Hope this helps !

With so many symptoms I recommend a vet check as soon as possible - it sounds like he has developed a severe diarrhea/colitis and fecal incontinence and he requires urgent treatment. In the meantime offer a bland diet of boiled chicken or fish and a probiotic supplement such as fortiflora
