Cat Health Care Tips : How to Express a Cat's Anal Glands

[roacherz]

My cat hates his hind end touched at all...... i would have to just take him to the vet again -.-

[Dachshund0]

you can do this at home but let a vet teach you first.

I have a cat and a dog and do it every 3 month on both of them

[dollydagger509]

You should not use baby wipes, because the cat/dog can get a tummy ache when they try to clean themselves down there. Just use a damp paper towel.

[PyschoAgnostic]

My cat's anal gland ruptured because I didn't know what was going on. The vet said to use hydrogen peroxide and antibiotics on the hole, and it worked and healed up, but it's returned now. Should I express it now or continue putting medicine on it? The vet we went to seems like he might not be the smartest so I don't know if I should take my cat back to him.

LMFAO!!!!!

[kwatoko]

he said anal saaax HA!

[TeamAlwayzHonest]

Hi CanItAlready. It is this video and there's a few on Youtube that have this...it must e a glitch in the system or because I am not in some viewing range? I don;t know but there's text on top of the video.Does anyone also have this or is it just my computer? I can see many other videos on youtube.

[CanItAlready]

Just an FYI: dogs don't like this either. :) My chihuahua had trouble with his anal glands a couple of times and when the vet squeezed them, he got as vicious as a 6-pound dog can get without actually biting anyone. And MAN can he scream.

[denisethepainter]

Can't even see the video. There's text all over it. Repost a good replacement video please.

[CanItAlready]

@denisethepainter

Don't know what video you were watching. I didn't see text all over anything.

[LauraLea38]

I just did this to my cat. I had no idea that they had this. He didn't like it of course, but some "stuff" did come out. It was yellowish. Didn't have much though. He is always cleaning himself, so he probably gets a lot of it himself. I had a friend help me so I didn't get bitten! Thanks!!!

I watched Cindy Sawchuck wipe Squidward's anus when he was a kitten.

[tovalondner]

Thank you so much for this video. I watched it and then got to work on my cat. I adopted him about a year ago. He's ten years old and was 23lbs when I got him, but he's down to 19lbs now. He started scooting a couple weeks ago and thanks to this video, I was able to see what was causing the problem. His anal glands were filled with about 2.5 ml each of hard, dry black crud. The expressing was painful for him, but a couple hours later he seems real happy and relieved.

[IAMBLACKSTIG]

I could use a good expressing of the anus

[nicck]

My cat doesn't empty his...so it builds up and basically just stinks. We expressed a bit today, with a drop going on the floor...only for our other cat to come and eat it.

Nice.

@nicck

Eeewwwwww~

[wolfpaw999]

my cats anal gland recently ruptured and so ive been cleaning it many times through out the day. he does not look like hes in pain but when it is time to clean it, he is somewhat in a uncomfortable state. it looks like its been doing a bit better since this morning but im still worried b/c this is his 2nd time that this happened to him. he is 10 yrs old and has mild feline lukimea so idk if that makes him more prone to illness. i just want him to be ok. what should i do? PLEASE REPLY ASAP!

[arcunnin]

@wolfpaw999

I don't think this is the place to ask for emergency vet advice.

I hope you took him to an actual vet.

[mermaidamp]

I watched Cindy Sawchuck wipe Squidward's butt where the anus is located which is disgusting.

[pitcockdanielagr]

wow so cute funny -- just a classic like avatar ... im going to watch it again just found a cool site that has it

[pitcockdanielagr]

Boy that was extremely funny. It was like a scene in hangover... what was it again... I'll find it at freemoviebon anza [.] [com] and get back to you.

[YourKillingMeOx]

pinching motions, mm ;)

[dragonesswings]

OH GOD

[ECondit]

I have to give my cat enemas which I order online. I use to take him to the vet to do this, but now I do it myself. I did it last night, and boy did he put up a fuss! Now I'm thinking, it's worth every penny to bring him to the vet! I got scratched real good!

[CycocelVocalist]

26sec I know he meant to say direction but it really sounded like erection.

[twisdom05]

my cats ass looks like a fucking baboons. Im off to the vet now.

[ingledude]

"cats do not typically likes this or enjoy this.."

I love that line, I mean who would, the cat into S&M?

[rorysimmonds]

anal sacks, this just cracks me up..

[arcunnin]

I had no idea cats had anal glands until I was shaving my cat for the summer.....I started to use the clippers around his butthole and crap squirted in my face. It was the grossest thing ever! My cat seemed embarasased...

[ECondit]

LOL! Thanks for the visual and the good laugh! I needed it today!  :)

[arcunnin]

no problem! thanks for responding!

[SundaeTheKitten]

@arcunnin that's funny! why would you shave a cat, anyway?

[arcunnin]

@SundaeTheKitten

He has a long coat and sheds a lot in the warm months. He is an indoor cat only so... This makes him hack up a lot of hairballs and causes me to have to clean a lot more.

So, we just give him a shave twice a year. He likes it....keeps him cool.
