My cat had some secretion on his bum opening and it was definitely that anal sac smell I’ve experienced before. I’ve wiped it off, but wonder what to do if it persists, do I need to express them?
This just happened today and I haven’t noticed the smell or any issues until now. I’m hoping I just caught him after using the bathroom or something and he’s able to resolve it on his own but want to be ready if he can’t.

Hello,
I recommend that the vet check them. It can be an anal gland infection, abscess or mass. In some cases we can just empty them and then recheck in a few months. In other cases these should be checked more often and in rare cases we talk about surgically removing them.
