Okay Guys....you were right....and I was.....uhmmmm.....NOT as right!!!
Milo had an impacted anal gland....BUT in my defense, the vet did say it was in a rather high position.
As soon as he got on the table...it started to express...likely because the poor guy was so terrified. She cleaned him out, sent him home and the icing on the cake....no charge. I think she was too busy laughing at my inexperience with these things because I have had cats for almost 50 years and never ran across the situation before.
Anyway....all is well...except Milo who is so angry he wont come out from under the bed.
Thanks for all the support.
