Stains on the leg/bottom

Hiya,
So Zeus has started being super naughty and peeing on one of my blankets, 3days till neutering!
But this morning when he went into a sploof and I was brushing him I noticed a yellowish/mustardish coloring on the fur next to and below his tail. It's not a big area or matted, just very obvious against his white fur [emoji1787]
I know he got some wee on him a bit earlier when I caught him peeing on the blanket so think it's from that.

Was wondering how long do I wait for him to sort it before I intervene and clean his tail? And how would I go about it as he won't sit still for me to do it [emoji1787]

Once his tail is dry you may be able to comb out some of the stained fur. If the soiled area is significant then he would need a bum bath. Hopefully that won’t be necessary though x

I tried brushing at it but that strangely sent him into a want to hump my hand spree [emoji1787][emoji1787] he has however spent about 5mins washing his legs etc, just waiting for him to sploof again to see if he's sorted it, otherwise I might sneak up with a damp cloth [emoji38]

Ha ha, he may decide to spray you with wee if you do that :lol:
 
Success!!! Haha think me trying to brush it flagged it to him, he's all snowy white again [emoji1787]
And didn't get sprayed by wee! Phew!
Thanks for the advice! :D

LMAO [emoji38]

Lopsy often gets stained in places for a couple of days, but he's 7.5 so I put it down to age :D He still cleans himself up fine, except his feet :roll:
Awwww poor Lopsy [emoji173]

Yea I've given up on Zeus's feet, everytime I even look like I'm considering touching his feet he flicks me away [emoji1787]
