Cats do not typically have a discharge during their heat cycle, and in the picture you provided, I'm concerned the discharge looks like pus. This can signify that Tyga has a pyometra, which is an infection of the uterus. I'd take her into a vet immediately to get this checked out as if she does have a pyometra, it is fatal without treatment. I hope this helps!
