i just figured out today my cat has impacted anal glands. i thought they were dingleberries. how do i fix it without her killing me?

I'd take her to the vet this time around because she might have an infection and it's good to have it looked at. Plus the vet can show you what to do.

To answer the original question, it's pretty gross so I try not to think about the fact that my cats' buttholes have been pressed against nearly every flat surface in our home, including my pillow.

Yeah. My dog literally sleeps on my pillow next to my head about 50% of the time so if I really started thinking about this I might have to give him back.

not really but, you know
Whenever one of my dogs has poop/hair problems, it's referred to as "small town butt trouble". For example, "Rudy got into some small town butt trouble when she was outside but she's ok now."I also try not to think about it; I don't have worms (yet) so I figure all is well.

i only feed my dog the finest organic kibble and thus he poops neat little tootsie rolls, no need to wipe
the turtle is much worse, i get projectile shitted-on every time we do shell maintenance

snake too, one time he wrapped himself around my wrist and used his strength to whip himself around while shitting, thus slingshot-launching his poop into my face.

I had no idea that turtles were such messy shitters.

^^^ although if we ended up with a long haired cat through some twist of fate, I wouldn't like throw it out on the street or anything. But insomuch as we get to select pets, short haired cats FTW.

We are planning on shaving Lizzie's hind legs and most of her bottom due to what gets caught there. I think she'll be happier too, just hope shaving her goes well.

I honestly think it's grosser that we've somehow convinced ourselves that wiping is sufficient as a clean-up method.

i occasionally have to chase my longhair cat round the house to wipe errant streaks of shit from her luxuriously-upholstered, lily-white butt. she hates it, i hate it, it is the worst thing in the world (although tbf worse is her habit of daintily wiping her butt on the bannisters of our staircase if we leave her dirty and unattended for too long)

A washcloth will suffice.

baby wipes are good too
― marcos, Tuesday, 1 September 2015 15:03 (nine years ago) link
honestly i think it was some of those ass-eating threads on ILTMI and choice posts from poster a booty cleaner that inspired me to maintain a cleaner ass than regular wiping would do

I am, admittedly, adopting the position of agent provocateur itt. In much the same way as I try not to think too much about the sausage I'm eating, I find that it helps not to focus on the fact that a flimsy sheet of Charmin is all that separates us from innumerable fecal encounters.

are you advocating mandatory colostomies
― bizarro gazzara, Tuesday, 1 September 2015 15:32 (nine years ago) link
I'd just like everyone to make the best and most responsible choice in that regard.
