Re: My Cat
Vaginal discharge refers to any substance (mucus, blood, pus) excreted by the cat's vagina. Because there are so many causes for this medical condition, consulting a veterinarian is highly recommended.
Vaginal discharge can affect both dogs and cats. If you would like to learn more about how this disease affects dogs please visit this page in the PetMD pet health library.
Symptoms
Symptoms can include discharge (mucus, blood, pus) from the cat's vagina, spotting of blood, scooting of the hindquarters, and a higher incidence of male attraction.
Causes
There are many risk factors which can lead to vaginal discharge; some of the more common causes include:
Vaginal trauma
Vaginal infection
Urinary tract infection
Abnormal cells in the vaginal area
Retained placenta following a birthing
Fetal death (in cases of pregnant females)
Presence of a foreign object in the vaginal cavity
Estrogen medications given during some phases of the cat's heat or estrous cycle, medications containing male hormones and certain antibiotics can alter the vaginal cells, leading to excess discharge. There are also some antibiotics which can cause vaginal discharge.
Pendek cerita, I think its better you bring your cat to the vet to check!
