A female 2-year-old cat has bloody slimy vaginal discharge yesterday. She has pyometra (infection of the womb). She would caterwaul every 2 months. 

Blood test showed high total white cell count and neutrophils indicating a severe bacterial infection of the blood.

The cat is hospitalised for IV drip and antibiotics for 3 days before spay operation to remove the infected womb. Cats as young as 1 year old can get pyometra which is evident from pus or slimy blood in the vagina. In this case, the discharge occurred a second time.

The treatment is to spay the cat after 3 days of antibiotic treatment to eliminate the bacterial infections of the blood and body. .
