where is the oozing liquid coming from? does your kitty have open sores? or is the liquid brown and possibly oozing fecal matter?

the main reason for licking fur off is allergies, when its the back legs and lower belly it is most likely the litter he is allergic too..if you have scented litter than buy some NONscented. maybe need to change to a natural product for awhile to see if this helps such as shredded paper or beads.

could also be an allergy to the food, what are you feeding?
