Expert Answer

A red swollen anus in a kitten is considered anal gland inflammation or prolapse from diarrhea; first find the cause of the diarrhea, resolve it quickly and treat the anal swelling with anti-inflammation. The photo also shows bloody discharge, so blood in the stool cannot be ruled out, which may indicate feline panleukopenia or another cause.

Take the kitten to a veterinary hospital promptly for examination and urgent cause-based treatment.
