Cats have stinky butts, most of them are sick
We all know: Cats are very clean pets, and you often see them "dress up" themselves when they are fine. But sometimes, sometimes, we smell its butt and feel it smells very smelly. So what is the reason for this?
may be a odor emitted from the cat's anal glands. Generally speaking, when a cat pulls poop, the things secreted in the anal glands will be discharged together. However, if the anal glands become inflamed or blocked, the secretions of the anal glands will accumulate and cannot be discharged, causing an unpleasant odor. If you are not sure, you can take the cat to the pet hospital for a check-up, or the shoveler can also clean the anal glands of the cat directly to see if there is any relief.
How to squeeze the anal glands for a cat: First, control the cat to prevent it from moving, use its thumb and index finger to pinch the cat's anus at four o'clock and eight o'clock, and slowly squeeze from light to slightly heavier force. If there is anal glandular fluid, liquid will usually be sprayed out after squeezing. Squeeze a few more times to ensure it is squeezed clean. The shoveler should pay attention to avoiding the anal glands and not let the liquid splash directly onto himself, otherwise the smell will be very unpleasant. If the cat has inflammation of the anal glands, the stuff squeezed out may be brown-black and creamy. It is recommended to take it to the pet hospital for treatment in this case.
