Draco does need to be seen by a vet today. The hair loss could be due to something like mange, allergies, or a skin infection. Scratching his bum could be due to anal sac impaction or intestinal worms. The green discharge from his urethra could be normal (it's called smegma), or it could be a sign of an infection. Please take him into a vet today.
