Arthur has finished with his antibiotics and he's back to having a pink butt hole. [View all]

Pink with no swelling, which is such a relief. I will continue to keep an eye on 'things'.

No final diagnosis on what caused it to happen but I trust this vet, completely, and no doubt he's seen it many times before. He did a good exam and there was no belly swelling or pain and I'd seen no blood in the litter box or odd behaviors so he just said to keep an eye on things and if it didn't start to resolve with the antibiotics, or grew worse, to bring him right back in and they'd do an x-ray. He also said sometimes they need a surgical correction to withdraw the tissue. I'm glad that wasn't necessary.

Anyway, I noticed improvement within 2 days and it just continued to get better.

As always, thanks for the emotional support!!
