question about Zoey

[Zoey&Mandy]

recently, me and my bfs mom have noticed like liquidy/thick greenish yelloish stuff coming out of her vagina. I have no idea what this could be.. does she have an infection?

I would call the vet and talk to the tech assistant who answers the phone. They are a wealth of information. And I am familiar enough with the ones at my vet, that I know they don't automatically say "bring 'em in."

Freedom, you're lucky. It sounds like you have a very knowledgable vet staff. At my vet the girls like to act like they know what they are talking about. Then I talk to the doctor and she gets mad that one of the girls told me something they shouldn't have. So when I call, I always leave a message for my vet to call me back, and she usually will within the same day.

Mandy, if you are confident your vet can answer these questions on the phone, then call immediately. Otherwise take her in, ASAP.

Ick... Normally anything greenish/yellowish coming out of any orifice is going to mean an infection (animal or human). That's typically pus or some other kind of bacterial or fungal infection. Definitely call and get her seen!

Is your cat spayed? Is she eating and drinking normally? activity normal? or is she just laying around and not wanting to eat or drink? either way you really should get her into the vet ASAP.

Rather than try to figure it out and treat it on your own, get her to your vet. That sounds like a mean infection to me.

Blessings,

yea. so I just called one of the Vets in Cleveland Ohio and they said she does need to be seen but the office visit is 72$. and I can not afford that right now! I have been sick for 2 weeks and I am paying my doctors bills from then.. any idea what Icould do?

Try calling around to a few different vets and see if anyone in your area has cheaper prices. Most vets will take credit cards, and some will take payment arrangements or even post-dated checks.

Regardless of which ever option you go with, get your cat to a vet ASAP!!

$72 could be a drop in the bucket if it requires an emergency surgery or several days of hospitalization/tests/medications.

The longer you wait the more expensive it gets!! Your cats life could be at risk here!

I know that the big veterinary hospital here in Boston offers payment plans, so you can just pay a part of your bill every month. Catlady is right - the longer you wait, the more it'll cost, and not just in money...

Believe me...get the cat to the vet...if she was spayed incorrectly, and there is still a uterus in there, she could have pyometra-an infection of the uterus, where pus fills up and comes out. She will die if this is not treated-usually only an emergency spay would help. So, like everyone else said, get her to the vet NOW.

ok, so I made her an appointment for tomorrow morning at 10am. I am either writing a post dated check or using my debit/credit card... IF i were to use my debit /credit card, what does this mean exactly? will they take out from it right then or what?
