My 6-week-old kitten has some swelling around her bottom, but there's no redness. Is this normal for a kitten her age? She's eating very well, her stools are fine, and she plays a lot.

    Hi, If your kitten is eating well, playing, seems healthy and has normal stools, that’s quite reassuring. However, swelling around the anus isn’t considered normal and needs to be monitored. I would advise booking an appointment with your vet so they can examine them and check for any underlying issues. If the swelling increases, becomes red or painful, or if your kitten has difficulty passing stools, please seek advice urgently. Best regards, Victoire
