Ruptured anal sac! She was bleeding in her butt area and I thought it
was her anus. She was of course licking it like mad.
I took her in and there was a huge hole next to her rectum - almost as
big as a quarter. And, another smaller lesion next to that. The vet
said her anal sac ruptured and I have antibiotics and some pain
killers for 14 days. She must wear this e-collar too for that length
of time. It is made of vinyl. We must go back after 2 weeks to see if
it healed up properly and also to drain her anal sacs again to see if
they are clogged. I've never had this problem before with a cat. I
don't know if it will reoccur with her or not. Advice?

No advice, just lots of purrs and sympathy for both of you.

Misty had that problem and yes, for her it did reoccur. We had to keep
an eye on it - a hint it was about to happen again was a lot of licking
in the area. I guess it was bothering her when the abcess swelled up
and she kept licking it. She was older when it started happening,
around 17, but she lived to be 19+. Not a fun problem to have, for you
or her!

Well, she's been a trouper. I have to apply warm compresses to her
bottom every 3 hours.

Purrs that it will heal quickly for poor Bonnie. One of my kitties
had to
wear an e-collar just like that one. When I brought her home from the
vet, my kitty Patience was so afraid of her that she stayed under the
couch for more than a day. "Who is that monster?"

Yep Seeing that too from Bobby.

We are sending purrs and prayers that Bonnie starts
feeling better soon. Lily has to have her anal glands
expressed every 4-5 months also. I hope they never
burst :(

Poor baby! She doesn't look very happy with the collar. Purrs for a quick
recovery.

Bonnie: "I am _not_ amused!"
Well it looks like she is saying that anyway. I hope she feels better
fast. That all must hurt.

Oh dear, purrs for Bonnie to be comfortable until she is healed and well.
Um, ahem. My 87 year old mother was taken by ambulance from the nursing
home this afternoon to the Wound Center for treatment to a large, very, very
difficult to treat and stubbon wound precisely and exactly where Bonnie's
wound is! I purr that she will be comfortable and heal quickly also!
