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