My girl, Zoey, has had issues with her anal sacs in the past...however she rarely presents any sypmtoms.

However, tonight when I got home I picked her up and cradeled her like a baby. I notice that when her tail dropped, she had a pussy substance coming from her anal glands.

My question is - is this an issue that can wait until Monday to get into a vet or do I need to got to an animal hospital? This has never happened before....so don't know if this is a cause for immediate attention.

Thanks.

Ok the reason I asked is pus usually doesn't come out of the anal sac just a vile liquid- pus appears in things such as pyometra- but that only hits fertile female cats and not those who are spayed.

It may not be puss. It is just a yellowish colored liquid that is coming out. It is thicker like puss, but may not be puss.

I do know that the last time she was checked, the vet said her anal sac excretions were very light colored...I guess most times they are darker in nature.

This may be normal secretions....but am still going to get it checked out as I haven't noticed this type of thing with her before. It is definetly coming from the anal sac areas at both 3 and 9 oclock.
