Hello, this is duz🥰
In my last post, I looked at why I need to squeeze my dog's anus sac.
Today, I'm going to see if I should squeeze my cat's anus sac as well.
Then, shall we take a look at the cat's anus sac together?
“What is an anal sac?"
The anus sac is an organ that many mammals have, as well as dogs and cats.
The anus sac is located at 4 o'clock and 8 o'clock below the anus, and the anus sac fluid is different.
Each dog or cat has its own information, and when you defecate, the anus is naturally compressed and the anus is drained to mark the area.🙂
"Should I squeeze the anus sac?"
If so, should cats be cared for by squeezing the anus sac like dogs?
In conclusion,
❌you don't have to squeeze it unless it's a special management case.❌
Cats do not need to be managed in normal cases because they naturally discharge anal cyst fluid during bowel movements, but in rare cases, if the cat's body has a problem and cannot be discharged naturally when defecating, it should be managed by discharging anal cyst fluid.😿
"When do you need an anal sac?"
Although it is not necessary to take special care of a cat's anal pocket, if the secretion of the anal pocket does not escape properly, the anal pocket can become inflamed or ruptured, so continuous care is required if the anal pocket cannot be discharged naturally.🐱
In addition, cats that normally discharge anal cyst fluid may not be able to discharge anal cyst fluid temporarily, requiring the management of the anal cyst.😨
In this case, a cat can rub its buttocks on the floor, just as the anus smells bad and a dog scratching its buttocks.
"What if you have a problem with your anus sac?"
If a problem occurs with the anus sac, the cat may exhibit several symptoms as follows.
👇a cat's behavior change👇
✅ The cat runs around rubbing its hips on the floor.
✅ Overgroom the area around the anus of the cat or lick the area near the anus
✅ The cat catches its tail excessively or bites its tail.
✅ The cat makes a crying sound when defecating.
👇symptoms on a cat's body👇
✅ A red rash occurs in the cat's anal sac.
✅ The area next to the cat's anus is swollen
✅ The cat has a stench that it didn't smell
"How to squeeze a cat's anus sac?"
In general, you don't have to discharge the cat's anal cyst, but if there is an abnormality in the anal cyst, you have to help discharge the anal cyst.
Dogs can hold their tails and squeeze their anus sacs, but cats hate it so much that touching near the anus will cause them to break up with the cat, so they have to help drain the anus fluid in other ways.😱
👇 How to drain the cat's anus sac fluid 👇
[First, gather the cat's hind legs while sitting, hold them in your arms, and then push them from the middle of the hind leg joint to the buttocks with your hand to reveal anal cyst fluid.]
If the anus cyst fluid is discharged, it smells bad, so I recommend you to solve it during bath time.😅
So far, we've looked into whether we should squeeze the cat's anus sac and anus sac.
Weaving an anal sac for cats is a stressful behavior, so there are ways to deal with it quickly or get help from an animal hospital.
I hope today's post was helpful and I'll come back with a helpful one next time🥰
