my cat has a raw rear as result of diarrhea

[lindak]

Help!
My cat has had diarrhea for the last 2 days, which seems to be subsiding. The problem is, the area around her "butt" (for lack of a better word) is swollen and raw and also had a bad odor. Is there something that i can do for her sore backside??



Hey !! I see that people have viewed my post and there have been no replys. I am a first time user of this forum, and really have never done this before, and am very disappointed. I love my cat and I don't want to take her to the emergency vet because she gets really stressed out when you take her in the car.

Is it because I don't have a cute name or picture?

My cats name is Kate - she's a beautiful (spoiled) long haired Calico, about 10 years old. PLEASE HELP!!
