My cat has a butt infection. Can a Petco vet prescribe antibiotics?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Maine Coon | Male | neutered | 13 lbs

I took my cat to the groomer because he won't clean his butt. After a shave of the area, they said it looks like he has an infection. Would a PetCo vet be willing to give him antibiotics?

If your PetCO has a veterinary facility you can bring your cat for an exam and then the veterinarian there will prescribe the appropriate medication. I am afraid antibiotics can only be prescribed after a veterinary exam.
