The kitten, on the second day home, after defecating had a red flesh ball protruding from its anus, possibly a mild prolapse. The seller said it’s from diarrhea. It was having diarrhea when first home, but last night a big flesh ball protruded then retracted on its own. It protrudes more after pooping than in the photo.
The photo shows no real problem; a red ball at the anus is likely from hard or frequent stools. Adjust diet and add probiotics; it should recover soon.
