One of my cats has just been sleeping on the sofa for a couple of hours. When I went to get him down I noticed that he was soaking wet all down his right hand side and right rear leg. I am not exaggerating when I say that he is as wet as if I just plonked him in a bowl of water!
There is a creamy white discharge coming from his rear end. I have just given him a clean up with wet wipes and he was not happy at all. He is usually a very friendly cat especially with me and he is hissing and growling obviously in discomfort. I have googled this and it seems to be leaning towards a problem with his anal gland, however the discharge doesn't seem to have a smell. Plus there is no swelling or redness as I would expect from a problem with his glands. He refused his dinner too, which is very unlike him!
I am obviously going to ring our vets first thing and take him in. I just wondered if anyone else has experience of this. He ate a whole pigeon yesterday so I wonder if this could be causing some illness in him?
He is 7 months old. I don't know if that is any relevance.
