A normal cat anus is flesh-pink, oval, with small folds, slightly protruding. Without diarrhea it stays clean, without stool, and the surrounding fur is clean.
Severe constipation may cause anal fissures with redness and bleeding; apply iodine and see a vet if serious. Finally, anal gland inflammation also causes redness and strong odor.
Express the gland fluid and apply erythromycin ointment to reduce inflammation.
