Question

My cat is in her second heat she is our new queen and Has some vaginal discharge. How much discharge is normal everything I read doesn’t have much information beside Pyometra. My Tom is wanting to mount but it seems she isn’t ready yet. Is this normal? Pet's info: Cat | Sphynx | Female | unspayed | 5 lbs

A pyometra doesn't happen when they are in heat. It typically happens a few weeks after the heat cycle has ended. So, I doubt that is the problem. Some vaginal discharge when they are in heat is normal and the amount can vary from queen to queen. There is no "normal" amount I can give you. All I can say about that is that the discharge should not be enough that she is leaving puddle around. Hope this helps. Best wishes!
