Unspayed kitten sick with discharge after heat. Could it be pyometra?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed

My 7month old kitten got sick last night with diarrhoea and vomiting. She has lost appetite and started licking everything including the floor, and is frequently licking her private parts. Just now I noticed a creamy discharge from her vagina. Could this be pyometra? Her heating cycle ended a few days ago, we did not let her mate. She is not spayed. Please help.

I am sorry to hear this! Yes, it could be pyometra. This can be life threatening so I highly recommend that you take Tingu to the vet immediately! The fact that she is not eating suggests that she is not feeling well and even if not pyometra, they can get her back on track ASAP! I hope she feels better soon!
