Okay.. This is about my Cat

KPaden1221

I know this isn't anything to do with weight loss or anything even half way pertaining to anything.. but w'ere having a CAT-tastrophe (LOL)..

Umm.. So we got up Sunday morning and the cat was acting INSANE running all over the house bouncing off the walls and meowing like a mad woman.. she's normally pretty calm..

Then while we were eating lunch, (GROSS ALERT) I noticed something gross on her.. Like a membrane hanging out of her rear end..

So.. I called the vet, he said its' called a prolapse. It's where the cats rectum falls out (GROOOOOOOOOSS) and told me how to, yes I almost died, push it back up in her. Well by the time I got the guts up to do it, it was already back up in there..

Well she was fine Sunady afternoon/evening, thru Monday morning... Well yesterday... HER WHOLE RECTUM WAY OUT!!! I mean it was NASTY!!! But this morning it's gone back up a little bit...

Anyone ever experience this with a cat?

WHAT SHOULD WE DO!?

ErinMarie25

Ummm, gross. LOL

Anyway, I have no idea. Have you Googled? :P

Seriously though, call the vet again!

Get out your rubber gloves! lol Ewwwww!

I have 3 cats and that's never happened, and I hope it never does! I do have one who gets his anal glands clogged up and his butt starts to smell so bad. I have to squeeze them for him to expel it.. talk about gag city!

Can you tell we love our animals? lol

Never happened and never heard of it before

TAKE HER TO THE VET!

Amylynn

I have heard of this with cats before. You can just continue to push it back in unless it becomes obstructive. In that case, the cat may need a surgery to have it sewed in place (essentially).

ErinMarie25

I have a cat, but never experienced this. :knocks on wood:

I would make an appointment with the vet. If it came out all the way, that's pretty bad.

dlcam61

What would you do if that was you? It must be awfully painful for her, and not good for her. Please take your furry child to the vet, she needs help :flowerforyou: I hope she feels better soon, sorry you have to see her suffer, that's never any fun! Good luck!

i agree with you.. i hate cats... but my husband has had her for MUCH longer than he's even known me... soooo... we're stuck with the dang cat..

I love cats more than dogs. :P

Cats = sleep all day
Dogs = jump all over you and try to slobber your face off and get hair everywhere. I can go on and on but this is no debate. :P

Dogs can have nasty health issues too.

I love both cats and dogs.

If it continues to be an issue I would definitly talk to the vet about a permanent solution because that must be horrible for both you and the cat. And what happens if you are away for an extended period of time?

I miss my cat. He passed away 2 years ago. I am actually quite allergic but found out after we had him for a few years and didn't have the heart to get rid of him. I won't get another cat due to my allergies but I am eager to buy a house with a yard so I can get a big dog!

Don't know what kind of dog you been playing with outside of a puppy or lab I don't know any grown up dogs that do that, especially my Husky. The most independent dog there is.

I had a lab growing up, he wasn't too bad. But all the dogs I have met were like this. Either people need better dogs or need to learn how to train them.

I love dogs, but I can't own one. Unless he's tiny like a cat! Ahahaha

Meh

Dogs rely on humans for everything.

Humans rely on cats for instructions.


There's the difference. At least that's what my cat tells me.

My cat has evil plans for me. I just can tell.

My two are like Stewie from Family guy.

I'm not an expert on this cat condition, but I would think that having your guts hanging out, multiple times is not a good thing. First of all, it probably promotes an intestinal infection which might kill the cat. Or two, it could rupture, causing the cat to bleed to death or to be poisoned by its own feces. I definately would take the poor kitty to the vet.

I'm a huge cat lover, but also have had my first experiences with a dog this year. I can say 100% that cats are SOOO much better. Although my kitty can be a bit tempramental, at least I don't have to take him for a walk (I'd rather clean the litter box every couple of days), he can self monitor his food/water intake (I just have to check the status once a day), and he doesn't have body odor and bad breath. Cats just seem more cleanly to me. My cat is three year old part Siamese, the dog is a nine year old Border Collie mix.

Yay for cats!

Actually, prolapses happen more w/dogs than w/cats. I am a nurse, and trust me, it happens to people too. I've seen it. As stated earlier, it really isn't a problem unless the rectum becomes obstructed.

I had a hen which suffered a rectal prolapse once, took her to the vets as didn't have the guts to put her out of her misery. She's at the Rainbow Bridge now with my other departed fluffy kids.

I have 2 feral cats which sleep in my hay barn and work for their living.
I also have 5 dogs who work for their living too. Sheepdogs and Border Terriers. Can't be doing with dog owners who overfeed and underexercise their dogs making them obese. It's a downright case of cruelty as much as starving it to death.

It's impossible to generalise about the amount of hair shed by a particular species, considering the variations of said species there are, be it feline or canine, ie a chinese crested dog versus a persian cat - which sheds more? A Samoyed versus a Siamese? I rest your case!
