Unspayed cat not eating, has discharge, hard belly. What's wrong?

Question

Hi! My name is Winter and my Cat Bella has not been herself today. She hasn't eaten or drank anything today. This morning she was hiding and I noticed on her bum area a mucus like substance with some of her fur sticking together. Her sides are also hard. She only got up once today to use her litter pan. Sadly I can not get to my local vet until Wednesday, please I'm wondering if anyone knows what could be wrong with her. She's 10. Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Longhair | Female | unspayed | 10 years old | 5 lbs

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Bella is beautiful! My concern is that Bella is not spayed and I am worried about the the mucous discharge you are describing. It may be coming from her vulva. She may have a mucous or pus filled uterus. With her belly being big too that is even more likely to be a uterus problem. Is she has a pus filled uterus (pyometra) that is a surgical emergency. It is good that it is draining. My recommendation is have her looked at sooner than later. Your Vet will likely do blood work and take a belly X-ray. I wish you and Bella the best of luck!
