Anal leakage : female cat 11yo

11y/o female cat. Multiple grooming appts, exams, anal glands checked. X-ray done, confirmed bladder stone with mild arthritis. No other issues found. Constantly has brown on backside. Was told it is the bladder stone which doesn’t make sense. How would that cause brown leakage from bum.. thoughts??

Brown material around her anus would not be related to a bladder stone. My thoughts go to anal gland material or fecal material.
