My Moms Siamese Bella has a anal gland abscess

My Mom called me last night and said "Bella has a hole in her butt" She said that she made an apt this morning, she is actually there right now.

I don't know too much about this, but I think they would have to do surgery? I hope and pray that everything goes ok for her-

Well my Mom just texted me and the Vet said that it is pretty bad, they are going to keep her, it is pretty infected

My Mom is waiting for the tech to come in and talk to her some more-

Here is a pic of Bella Kitty- I hope everything works out. I am sick to my stomach, I feel horrible.

I will say a prayer for Bella. I hope that she gets over the infection soon. Bless her heart, she must be in a lot of pain

Bella is a beautiful kitty.

Poor kitty! I hope she gets well soon!

Sending good thoughts for Bella. My Nikki had the same thing and they were able to clear it up with antibiotic treatment right in to the abscess. After a few treatments he was much better. I hope Bella has a good outcome too.

Poor thing! My mom's shih-tzu had the same thing. It was like a gaping hole next to her bum and it eventually healed and she was on antibiotics for a while. Definitely not pretty.

Well this morning my Mom took Bella in, the vet told her that she needed surgery and she needed a dental. If she wanted to do both it would be $700!!!! If she just wanted to do the surgery for her anal gland it would be $1000!!!!! My Mom does not have that kind of money. They were not willing to work with her or anything!

Since she was not able to pay for it, they just cleaned it up and sent her home with antibiotics and pain meds. They wanted to re-check her next week to see if it was worse! She left there spending $200

I called my Vet to see what he can do, he said without looking at it and being my Mom he would charge her @$250 He told me do not wait to bring her in, she needs to have a drain put in and stitches.

I called my Mom and told her, My Vet is like ½ hour away (from my Mom)- I told her I would just pay for it- We have to do something and waiting isn’t a good idea!

I left work to meet her there, I knew I would have to sign the authorization paper. My vet said it would be $249.00 he said it is pretty bad, he said it is about 7 days old, My Mom just noticed it today.

She is going to be there a couple hours, so instead of driving home, my Mom is going to go to my house to wait.

So everything worked out, I cannot believe that vet! $1000 for an anal gland surgery?? That is beyond me! I am so thankful to have this Vet- He is just so wonderful!! I m so happy Bella is getting fixed and will be ok! Thank you for your prayers!!

jmdt · 03-15-2012, 03:57 PM

Thats just crazy. I'm so glad your vet can do something for your moms kitty. Hugs and kisses to Bella.
