My 14 month old male cat, Marley, has started leaking a clear, jelly like substance from his butt. It doesn't have any smell or colour and Marley doesn't seem to notice it. He's eating, drinking and playing as usual and not licking the area any more than he would normally.
I've noticed that he's lost a bit of weight recently so wormed him with Profender about a month ago. He's got a tiny bald patch at the back of his neck where I put the Profender, but he didn't have any reaction to it apart from that.
Has anyone else had this with their cat? Do you think he needs to see a vet?
He was a stray kitten that I took in when he was about five months old and it took about 8 weeks before he would allow us to handle him at all. He's very sweet and affectionate now, but the only time he has been to the vet was when I had him neutered at eight months old. He was terrified, bit me and the vet quite badly when I tried to take him out of the cat carrier and had to be restrained in a cat net.
If possible I'd like to spare Marley, and my poor, long suffering vet, from another experience like that.
Any idea what's causing this leaking and how I should deal with?
