Brown secretion at the urinary tract opening of a male cat

Brown secretion at the urinary tract opening of a male cat is often caused by an infection in the urinary system. Particularly in middle-aged and elderly male cats that have not been neutered, they are prone to urinary system diseases such as urinary tract inflammation and cystitis. Symptoms may also include frequent urination and screaming during urination. When a male cat has a brown secretion from the urethra, it is recommended that the owner take the cat to the veterinary clinic in a timely manner. Otherwise, the condition may progress to orchitis, epididymitis, and even kidney disease due to urinary obstruction in the later stage.

1. To handle the situation of a male cat with a brown secretion at the urethra, the owner can first rinse the urethra opening with physiological saline, clean the secretion, and then use cotton pads or gauze to absorb the surrounding moisture and keep the area dry. The cat's secretion can be cleaned 2-3 times a day based on the amount, and the owner should observe whether the symptoms improve.

2. If the secretion is still significant after cleaning, and the penis shows swelling, ulceration, or abnormalities in urination, it is recommended that the owner take the cat to the veterinary clinic for treatment to prevent the condition from worsening.

3. Male cats that have not been neutered are prone to this problem. It is therefore advised that the owner wait for the cat's symptoms to improve or heal before neutering the cat, which can reduce the risk of reproductive system diseases.
