I had leo neutered on 19 Feb. His wounds have healed. His stool is not normal. When I cleaned the litter box it was like urine clump but of stool and smellier than regular stool. It has been like this for the past 4-5 days. His behaviour is normal and is playful. What do I do ?

Poor Leo. It sounds like he could have some diarrhea. I recommend that you feed him a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in his normal diet. If the diarrhea continues on the bland diet, he starts vomiting food, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, he will need to see a vet right away. I hope this helps.
