hello, I'm concerned about my 2 month old kitten. 6 days ago he went through surgery to get neutered and now that I adopted him i noticed that his bum is sensitive and is bleeding a little bit. Is that normal or no?

Thank you for contacting Pet Coach with your question about Buster! No, a sensitive and bleeding bum is not normal. It could be possible he is suffering from intestinal worms or impacted anal sacs causing this issue. I would take him into the vet tomorrow. The vet can diagnose the cause of this problem, and can treat him for it. Best of luck, I hope this helps!
