Was fussing Tigger on the sofa about 10 mins ago (he lies on his side and tramples and purrs) when the most almighty stench hit my nostrils.
Thought he'd farted at first but when the smell dispersed and then came back with a vengeance I finally noticed that some runny poo had leaked from his butt
Thank god for leather sofa's and easily washable throw!
First time this has happened with either one of my cats and just not sure what to do about it.
Can't take him to the vet til payday on friday and he seems normal other than the leakage - still has his voracious appetite, drinks, plays, goes out, demands fuss, sleeps.
Have done the dehydration test at the scruff of the neck and skin pings back quickly so don't think he's short of liquid yet and have found no other bits of leakage around his favourite sitting/lying spots around the house.
Should I take him off food altogether for 24 hours or feed something really bland (he won't touch cooked plain chicken with a barge pole btw)
Thanks in advance for any hints!
