A friend of mine had a cat which had kittens. It was a few weeks when he realised, after watching one try to take a dump and fail, it didn’t have an opening for it’s anus. He said it was bloated and abdomen was hard. The vet said they had only heard of this and never witnessed it themselves. Thing had to be put down.
Seconded. My little brother gets NeedsToGoToTheHospital-Grade stopped up from time to time and, uh, it’s painful enough they give you the good shit. That is a horrible way to die.
A few weeks? I need a hug dude. It must’ve been vomiting it’s stool.
There’s deworming product you can buy, it’s not expensive and it’s pretty standard. It’s something you feed them with a feeding syringe. The worst part about it is cleaning up the mess in the litterbox cause the whole process gives em the runs pretty bad. But it’s over within a week or so.

It’s often fixable if caught soon enough. Basically the affected creature gets ripped a new asshole under anasthesia.
Yes the vet said it’s probably treatable but she couldn’t do it. She’d have to refer him to some other vet and it would have been insanely expensive.
jesusfuck, man.
That’s one of those anecdotes that you don’t ever have to share again. Let it die.

99% of the time, a swollen hard belly on a kitten means it’s infested with worms though.
It is treatable, and financially? I don’t know this is worse or better than what I said.

Can happen to humans, too, but it’s frowned upon to put those ones down.
