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

We cat-sat a kitty with this very same problem last year. I had to clean that area daily, apply warm compresses & apply a topical antibiotic cream along with a oral antibiotic (the pink stuff). Peepers had to do the oral's 3 times because he was not healing as fast as the vet wanted. I had to come up with many a different way to give it to him. This area MUST be kept clean because infection can happen quickly, so wash the butt after every litter box trip if possible.

About a month after Peepers left Yoshi had the very same problem!! I asked if Peepers gave it to Yoshi, No. BUT(T) it was kinda strange that Yoshi came down with the very same problem.

Yoshi only required one round of the antibiotics & was really not fond of the compresses, but they really helped. I too was not fond of the compresses but knew they really needed to be done (Peepers took longer to recoup than Yoshi but we don't know why).

We were told that these things just happen. They are not passed between them, not in their food/water. It just happens. So, put your worst clothes on, make sure their nails are trimmed and have at it. A great bonding time.....
