I have a 14 year old, almost 15 year old Gray American Shorthair cat. Although he seems to be a little sore in his back end, he is quite active, despite being obese. He plays with our 1 year old cat Oliver for hours, and even wins the battles even though Oliver is bigger and younger.
Anyway, my question;
I have noticed that he has stool around his bottom end... and it's been that way for at least 3 or 4 days. It's very runny and has apparently dried there. I whiped it down today with a warm paper towel and at least cleaned the opening.
However, I came home 20 minutes ago to find he's all dirtied up again.
What's going on? Is he sick? Should I take him to a vet? Does he need to switch food (He is on Iams... regular formula in the orange bag, as all of our cats are different ages and feeding them all different foods is hard to do)
Something else wrong here?
Thanks,
Jason
