So I was petting my cat and I noticed she had some poop on her anus so I grabbed some toilet paper and started cleaning her. I saw she had a little white dot on her right side, as I kept cleaning some discharge came out. It didn't smell, but it was white/yellow, I cleaned it with toilet paper and I also tried to rub the white dot off but she didn't like it. I can't seem to get a picture of it, I'm taking her to the vet on the 28th.

Sounds like full anal glands.  You vet can express them.  It isn't a fun job.

There are other things it could be, but MOST of those will be fine until the...um...26th?  29th?  The 28th is actually on a Sunday.  Generally anal glands do have an odor, but if she is eating, drinking, playing and sleeping normally, you will be fine for a few days.  DO have him look, though.

I know, I made an appointment to get her rabies shot renewed and that's when the vet said he didn't have many people come in. I'm glad I noticed it! I didn't think much of her cleaning herself in that area since she always cleaning herself.
