Why is my cat lethargic with a bloody bald spot and dull fur?

Question

My 4 yr old cat has a bald spot under her tail with a bloody and a clear fluid spot on it. I also noticed two small blackish spots that were also bald (not sure any relation?). She is not herself. Very lathargic, laying down constantly, and fur is getting dull looking. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 7 years and 3 months old

Rosie is quite a cute cat! The spot looks very painful, and it could be infected. She may have injured herself leading to the swelling and bleeding. It is concerning as well that she is lethargic, laying down constantly, and her fur is getting dull looking. A dull coat can be a sign of allergies, parasites, or infection. I would have her seen by a vet for this bald spot and her other symptoms. The vet can diagnose what is causing them so she can be treated. I would take her into the vet on Monday morning.
