Thanks for reaching out about Bunshushu. What you are describing sounds like peri-rectal scent glands. The black tarry accumulation is often the oil from the gland and can be gently cleaned with a warm wet washcloth. The yellowish discharge is probably front the scent gland also, and can be normal. Keep an eye on it. Contact your veterinarian again if you continue to be concerned. Good luck.
