Is there a natural way to treat cats ruptured anal sac

Posted By Megan (Mn, US) on 11/29/2014

I have an 8 year old cat that has had anal sac issues a couple times in the last year. We have tried our best keeping up with it and draining it ourselves but it has ruptured again. We are looking for a more natural way of treating this problem as well as would like to know what we can do/give to her to heal it. We can bring her to the vet but, it's really costly and our cat gets so worked up we would prefer to be able to treat it ourselves. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

About Theresa

Theresa from Minneapolis was born and raised in the inner city, always wishing she had been raised on a farm.

Her love for creatures great and small began at an early age, starting with caterpillars - which continues to this day, along with an interest in all insects and 'creepy crawlies'.

Theresa's interest in pet health started with a bird keeping hobby at age 14, where she learned from another hobbyist that the simple addition of Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) in a bird's drinking water kept fungal infections away; she was able to share this with her avian vet who in turn prescribed it to her own clients; Theresa was surprised to learn that she could teach her vet a thing or two. This important lesson - that each of us can be a teacher - was a turning point for Theresa, and  fueled  her quest for the knowledge held in lore,  and remedies passed by word of mouth. That quest for knowledge continues to this day, as new and old remedies alike are explored. She may not have experience with a particular issue, but she will research it to the best of her ability and share what she finds freely, in the hopes that you can heal or improve your pet's health.

Hey Megan!

You should flush the area several times a day with warm water to keep the area clean and to help remove any material that is flowing from the ruptured anal sac. These will take a couple weeks to heal. You might consider diet to avoid a repeat. Feed a meat based diet, one that is grain free in particular.

Here is something in answer to your question. It sounds like all natural treatments needed are here on this page. I have a dog recently dragging his bum around.
