Question
My cat is about 6 ot 7 months old and for the last couple of day I noiticed small pudles of what looks like puss when ever she stands up. So I checked and noiticed a puss like substance leaking out of her anus. Is there a way you could tell me whats going on?

Answer
Hi Lucas,

Please take your cat to the vet ASAP. There are a number of things that could be wrong and I can't see your cat so I can't tell you. It could be; an infection of the anal glands (very painful), a uterine infection if you cat is not spayed, diarrhea, warms or a number of other problems. Definitely get to the vet because any of these could be very serious!

Expertise

I can answer questions on: cat nutrition and diet, behavior, behavior problems, training, general health, socialization/taming feral cats, TVAR, trapping feral cats, feline nutrition, and cat care. My favorite questions are on the topic of nutrition and I have special experience with hyperthyroidism in cats. Please do NOT ask me if you should take your cat to the vet - if you have any reason to suspect your cat is ill or injured please call your vet immediately!
