Cats are very magical animals. They always clean themselves, including their hair and anus, so cats will not smell strange normally, but there are no exceptions. So what's going on with a cat's butt? What should I do if my cat's butt is smelly? Let’s take a look at the reason why the cat’s butt is smelly.
1. Contaminated with feces
If the cat has long hair, it is easy to contaminate feces when it is shit, which will smell bad. In this regard, it is recommended that the owner check whether the hair on the cat's butt is stained with feces. If so, he can use a pet-specific wet wipe. After each cat's stool, wipe and clean it up, and shave the hair around the anus that is easily contaminated with stool, so that the cat's local odor can be minimized.
2. Anal gland inflammation
If the owner has not helped the cat clean the anal glands for a long time, causing inflammation of the anal glands, it will emit a foul smell. When the condition is serious, secretions, suppuration, etc. will appear around the anus. If this is the case, you need to clean the excess fluid in the anal glands of the cat in time. If there is suppuration or infection, you also need to use relevant anti-infection drugs and pay attention to the cleaning of the cat's anus.
3. Diarrhea
If a cat has diarrhea, it is easy to cause some of its hair to get feces and emit a foul smell. The owner can check the cat's feces. If it is really caused by diarrhea, the owner needs to find out the cause of the cat's diarrhea in time and then treat it accordingly.
So, no matter how cute cats are, some problems need our help to solve.
