Discharge from the vulva of an unspayed female is always very concerning. Your cat may have a urinary tract infection or may have a more serious condition called a pyometra. This is where the uterus becomes infected. Pyometra can be life threatening. If this is what is going on with Panda she will need surgery to have her uterus removed. She will also need to be on antibiotics. I would recommend taking Panda in to see your vet as soon as possible so she can be evaluated and treatment can be initiated. I hope this helps. Best of luck.

Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Discharge from the vulva can either have a urinary or reproductive cause. As she is unspayed, I would be concerned that she could have an infected uterus, a condition known as pyometra. I would recommend she be evaluated by her regular veterinarian to determine the underlying cause for her discharge, have any necessary testing done (X-rays, bloodwork) and get started on any treatment that may be needed. Good luck!
