Cat Problems

I have a 12 yr old female callico cat that has been fixed.  I noticed that her anus and surounding area is red and swollen.  She also has a swollen stomach and feels warm to the touch. I have noticed that in the last few weeks she has had trouble with food and fur balls. There also seems to be a foul odor from the swollen area.

Sounds like either she has impacted anal glands or intestinal parasites.  Definitely needs a trip to the vet.
