My cat's anus is swollen and he hasn't pooped. Is he constipated?

Question

I think my male cat's anus is swollen. I scoop his litter box everyday & noticed there wasn't any poop in his box. A couple of weeks ago, he drug his butt around my apt but I was able to remove the poop from his anus. Things seemed to clear up until recently when I noticed his anus was swollen & lack of poop in his box. Pet's info: Cat | Siamese

Ollie may need to go to your veterinarian for an enema to relieve the constipation. This can become a chronic problem so it's important to get Ollie's stool emptied completely soon. I recommend that you feed plain canned pumpkin, about one tablespoon twice daily, to prevent constipation in the future.
