This is very very concerning. She could have a urinary tract infection which can be treated with antibiotics. Shakira could also have a uterine infection or hormonal problem. Because there is a likelyhood of uterine infection which can cause sepsis and serious complications, she needs to be seen by a pet doctor now. If this is a uterine infection she will need surgery. Please find a veterinarian and have her examined.
