My cat has vaginal discharge. Is it normal or a serious issue?

Question

My cat has this really thick discharge from her vagina. It's mostly clearish with a little yellow. She was treated with clavamox a week ago for an unknown infection. Could this just be her going into heat? She licked it off and I haven't seen much since, I just didn't know if this discharge was normal or not. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 1 year and 1 month old

Cats don't normally have discharge even when they are in heat. I would be concerned about a condition called pyometra. This is a major infection in the uterus and requires a spay procedure to remove the infected uterus. I would recommend taking her back to the vet for evaluation. It may be necessary to do blood work and abdominal x-rays to diagnose if she has a pyometra. That may be the source of the unknown infection for which she was recently treated.
