Impacted anal sac

LoL, ok...Sherpa smells like butt. Poor guy. He gets high fiber canned food in the evenings, but I'll be putting out a can in the mornings, too, I think. I never see him at the water bowl, which was one of the reasons I started adding canned to begin with.

He WAS an overweight kitty for a few years, but with a lot of hard work and exercise he's now down to approximately perfect. He may still have an extra half pound, but we're working on it and he can reach his behind to groom it.

Sherpa gets a lot of hairballs, so he's accustomed to the occasional bath and haircut. He's freshly shaved now, which made it easy to see the problem. Bathtime won't be a huge problem, LoL. Expressing the thing in the first place may be, it's a little tender...

I don't know if a topical anesthetic would help Sherpa with the procedure? Ask your sister. Hope all goes well!

Just a quick update: Sherpa is extremely upset, but he is no longer impacted and he's sparkling clean. He had an asthma attack during the procedure though, poor guy.

Glad to hear he is clean and sparkling. Sorry to hear about the asthma. Spunky has a very mild asthma. Hope he feels better soon.

Poor guy. Sorry to hear about the asthma attack. But I am happy to hear he is all clean and smelling better!

So glad he is feeling all better!

Dear Sherpa, we are so glad you are all clean and shiny now and feeling so much better!
