My cat has a ruptured anal gland or tumor. Is this an emergency?

Question

What is this and how urgently do I need to bring my cat to a veterinarian? Pet's info: Cat | Siamese | Female | spayed

China should be examined today by the veterinarian. That could be a ruptured anal gland abscess or a ruptured tumor. The veterinarian will preform a rectal exam and may be able to tell the difference. Treatment is needed either way and she needs to see an elizabethan collar to prevent licking. I hope this helps.
