My roommate's cat, Denebah, has been bleeding from her vagina. We just noticed this about an hour ago.
She is unspayed and was in heat about 2 weeks ago. I have 3 male cats, all neutered, although Pippin displayed mating behavior (trying to hump, biting her neck, etc.)
I have repeatedly told him he should get his cats (he has two unaltered females) spayed, but he hasn't had the finances to do so.
We are taking her into the vet tomorrow. I told him that even if she has no infection, we should just get her spayed anyways. Hopefully, she doesn't have a major infection and recovered quickly from the surgery, assuming she has it.
Please send good vibes for her. She's a sweet little thing and has never gotten any bigger than a 4 month old kitten.
My friend is very worried and so am I.
The good news is that she doesn't "seem" sick. She is purring and very affectionate, which is her normal personality. She is not dehydrated, although she is drinking a bit more than usual (a symptom of pyometra, I know). She is not anemic, her gums are very pink and healthy. The bloody discharge smells like menstrual blood to me, not infection or pus.
The bad news is that she is bleeding quite a bit. Like I said, she is very small and I worry about the fluid she's losing.
If anyone has had a similar situation happen, I'd really like to know how it turned out.
Thanks in advance!!
