Leaky Cat!

My cat, Tessie, is leaking a terrible, rotten fish-like smell from her bottom. It's a contant thing so it's not due to her being frightened or anything. What could be wrong with her and how can we fix this?

Hi
It sounds to me like she has an internal infection. She needs antibiotics from the vet. Unfortunately there is no other treatment for this and the sooner you can get her to the vets the better as the worse it gets the harder it may be to treat.

Any foul smelling discharge like this is a sign of an infection.

hope your cat is better soon.

best wishes
Kate
