Before treating the problem, it would be important to know what kind of problem we are dealing with.
There is a number of possibilities amongst which:
- Putrid smell from an infection/abscess.
- “Fishy” smell from anal gland disease.
- Urine smell from urinary incontinence (cystitis would be a possibility at that age).
If you need more info about anal glands, you may watch the following video on that topic:

My recommendation would be to go back to the vet to get a post-operative check up and talk about the problem. A close examination of the back end is necessary. The vet may need to express your cat’s anal glands and possibly clip the fur around that area for skin inspection.
Best of luck, Julien
