So background, about 2+ months ago my cat had a bout of soft stools. I bought him in to a vet who manually checked his anal glands, told me they were quite full, not impacted or anything, just quite full, so she did a manual anal gland expression. it took awhile before the stools started firming up again.
now, his stools are on-off. At times firm and nice, at times still soft. however, my question is, ever since that anal gland expression, even on days when his poop is nice and firm, his butt would ALWAYS have remaining liquid poop? anal gland secretion? I'm not too sure what it is, but its just confusing cause even when the poop is so wellformed in the litterbox, I know his buttock would have light brown/dark green light stains that I have to physically clean for him every single time after he poops. this was not how it was before the manual expression, or so I don't remember it being like that?? so I'm just wondering if its normal? or if its something I need to be concerned about?
other than that, he is still pooping regularly, peeing, eating well, playing
