Female cat discharge

[Jjkinda]

Hello I have been really worried about my cat, I have observed her licking her genitals for about a week and today I noticed discharge. I worry that she may have an infection but I need more information and professional help on if this is serious. I have not noticed a change in behavior, she is unspayed and has only been licking enough for me to notice. I have not noticed blood or loss of apetite. Help with any info or advice please

I think that this calls for a vet, especially with the discharge. This could be the first sign of an infected uterus in an unspayed cat. If there is an ER vet available, I would go that route if possible.

If she is not spayed, this could be pyometra which can be fatal if left unattended. Please get her to the vet immediately for a check.

ANY discharge like that needs immediate vet attention. And yes, pyometra can be fatal. The sooner this is addressed, the better. Please do let us know what the vet says, and how she is doing.

Hello All! I was afraid it might have been pyometra so I got her to the vet as soon as possible.
I am glad I noticed these signs and got it checked as soon as I could, she went under successful surgery to both spay and remove the infection.
Discharge is definitely when I reccomend any cat owner to go to the Vet. It will Not be a UTI, so please any future cat owners take your cat immediately to vet if you see her over grooming and discharge!!
Ty all for answers
