My kitten recently starting eating solid food, and now is about 7-8 weeks old. He has developed problems deficating and urinating properly. At first I thought it was a one time thing, but it has been like this for about 3 days now. He doesn't have a tail, and I have another adult cat that doesn't have a tail that ocassionally gets stool stuck to her fur. I thought it might have had something to do with that, but now I see that his bottom is very red, irritated, and the skin/hole doesn't look normal. His stool builds up on the outside, sticks to his fur and blocks the passage way for other bowel movements. He also seems to have urine on his legs. I have been cleaning him with warm water, much to his discomfort. I'm very worried, but I don't know if it is a serious problem. What could cause this and what should I do?
