The other day I noticed that Tux had clear fluid leaking out of his bum.
It smelled pretty awful, like rotten fish. Does anyone know why this is happening?

That is a definate trip to the vet. ASAP!

Yes go to the vet. It might just be a yeast infection, or something simple like that. But no matter what, only a vet trip can solve it.

I was feeding a stray this last winter that suddenly started leaking a clear fluid from her rectum. It turned out to be Colitis. But a trip to the vet is very necessary.

Tux went to the vet today. It turned out that he had infected anal sacs. (eewwww!)
This occurs when the sacs become clogged with the liquid used for scent marking. The vet emptied them and put Tux on a round of antibiotics.
I`m so glad that it wasn`t a more serious condition!
P.S. Thanks to everyone who responded to my thread!

CJ's & Robin's too!
Whew! Thank goodness you took him in. Sounds kind of nasty if not treated, but no big deal if it's taken care of.
Take your medicine like a good kitty, Tux.
