My 2-month-old kitten's anus is red and inflamed; is he constipated?

Question

I have a 2 month old kitten who has a red and inflammed anus. He was trying to poop but with no luck, he gave up. Someone suggested to me that he was constipated and to contact a vet. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 2 months and 6 days old

He may be constipated or have a partial rectal prolapse. Veterinary attention is recommended to diagnose the underlying cause prior to treatment. Submit a stool sample to diagnose intestinal parasites which are a common cause of the symptoms described, especially in kittens.
