Hi everyone,
I’m really at my wit's end. To explain the situation, four months ago I rescued a kitten I found in my garden; he was only 10 days old.
Since then, he's had loads of problems with his bottom (soft poo that really irritated the skin, severe constipation...). I've had to clean his bum regularly and he just can't stand it anymore.
This has been going on for over four months now and the poor little guy holds it in because he's scared of doing a poo. When he needs to go, he doesn't go to his litter tray; he just stays where he is, strains a bit, and then walks off with his anus dilated and the poo ready to come out. He also scoots his bum across the floor... He’s been wormed, of course. The problem is he’s getting poo everywhere, and obviously, he miaows loudly whenever we try to clean him. Since we aren't home during the day when we're at work, if he starts trying to go, he ends up with poo stuck to his bottom for several hours with his anus dilated.
My husband can't cope with it anymore because there is poo all over the house, yet he manages to wee in the litter tray just fine. I don't understand why he can't just do his business properly in one go. I've tried everything: different food, different litter, using bleach, cat grass... you name it. Nothing works.
I'm coming to you as a last resort because I honestly don't know what to do anymore; my husband doesn't want him in the house anymore and I've seen several vets who haven't been able to help me.
