I have a 2 year old male cat named Bear. He’s got a medium length coat. He’s neutered. He’s an indoor cat. He’s active and eating well.
A few months ago, he had diarrhea that passed within a few days, so we decided not to take him in. The next day, I picked him up and this weird cloudy liquid came dripping down my hand. It was coming from his back fur. He had some matting, so I thought diarrhea had somehow gotten stuck in his fur. I bathed him and snipped the mats out.
Last week, he was laying next to me and smelled like the litter box. I tried to look at his behind once again, and noticed he had some gunk stuck in his fur again, not wet, but I gave him a bath and brushed it out.
Then, tonight, I picked him up and the same cloudy fluid came from his behind. It smelled strange, not like pee or poop, but still made me gag. If I tried to even touch his back fur, he would growl and hiss at me (not sure if he was in pain or was angry at me touching him). I had to know what was going on so I had a friend restrain him while I shone a flashlight and discovered his actual anus was wet (sorry it’s gross I know). Btw, his stool is currently normal.
I’m calling the vet tomorrow, but I’m just worried about what is going on. Has anyone had anything similar to this? What caused it?
