Half hour ago Monkey poops at a plastic swallow box that is normally for cats to sit on. The shape resembles litter box.
After few poops, I saw Monkey has a red unknown object, blight red, looks like the color of blood, stucking out on his anus, look like that object is half of the way of coming out. He remained in that box for few minutes, in a posture that is like semi pooping. (He has neuropathy, so it is not that obvious to tell from the posture) I was very nervous and ask for my family member for help. My family member (calmer than me) told me to remove the few poops and throw the box to the bin.
I followed her "instruction" and she put Monkey on the ground, finding the red object disappeared and said he is back to normal now.
I think WE DID THE WRONG THING. I should NOT have followed her instruction, instead I SHOULD not interrupt Monkey to see if he needed to excrete something out or he wanted to do anything. Also, I SHOULD take a photo and ask the vet and the people here.
What should I do? I suspect that he has constipation since cats with constipation have difficult and painful excretion. After Monkey sit on the floor and look normal, I give him can food to eat to test his appetite, since I know cats with constipation may lose their appetite. Monkey appetite is normal and now he slept seemingly peaceful on my left side.
Also, I retrieve the plastic box from the bin and feel cat litter on it. Thinking Monkey prefer that litter box because it is shorter and more convenient to access since Monkey hind legs is very weak and he may have difficulty crossing the high border of normal cat litter box. Simply put, that plastic box is very swallow and easier for Monkey to walk in.
Monkey saw the vet last week, there was several problem but none was related to constipation. Also, Monkey drinks a lot of water every day and pee a lot.
What should I do people?
Btw, I am mad to myself. Why did I follow my family member that has a track record of making a lot of absolutely wrong, non-sense judgement and actions. (What worse is she ALWAYS thinks she is right even after many horrible disasters) Probably because panic causes me to (wrongly) trust people's judgement but not think critically. I need to take a crisis management course so I can handle things better.
