I need some answers!

Hey i am new here! I will introduce myself later. I have a sweet black feline named Gypsy and she is sick. She has had some loose stools and has been lethargic all day. And she's a bit of a fatty due to her previous owner, my cousin, haha, BUT she has not touched food or water all day. I called the vet and they said come in tomorrow. But now she has this clear nasty strong wierd smelling discharge coming from her butt region. I have searched for what it is but I can't find anything. Does anyone know??????? I am taking her to the vet in the morning. But it's killing me that I don't know why she is sick Can anyone help?

Try to coax her to eat something, plain cooked chicken, the stinkiest canned catfood you have, canned/fresh salmon/tuna.

Did she get into anything toxic or was she chewing the plants?

Any vomiting?

Has this gone on longer than today?

Is she having trouble sitting or will she sit as normal?

What does is smell like? Rotten fish? - if so it could be her anal glands need cleaning or are impacted requiring vet assistance

Has she been spayed? She couldn't be going into labor, could she?
