Cat restless with apparent discomfort & clear vaginal discharge
I have a Tonkinese kitten of about ~6 months. She was fine yesterday,
but I noticed this morning (4am Eastern Time) that she seems to have some abdominal discomfort from the way she keeps rolling around and trying to reposition herself constantly. There also appears to be a minute discharge of clear liquid/gel-like substance from the vagina. I'm still new to cats and don't know what might be going on. After I send this I plan to do some googling, and if nothing else calling an animal hospital within the next hour. If anyone is online with ideas, I would be gratefull. Even suggestions of a good cat vet in Atlanta, GA that would be open. Thanks, Randy. |

Even suggestions of a good cat vet in Atlanta, GA that would be open. Randy, do get her in to the vet. It sounds serious. I started to. I called a local emergency vet and was going to take her in. But as I was on the phone she had a bowel movement-a normal healthy movement, which was a relief to me. At least it wasn't an obstruction. I decide to wait a while and watch her close. She seemed to improve some, but I was still worried. I put her in the car (without a carrier as she was fairly inactive and I wanted to watch her). Less than a mile and she was all over the car exploring acting normal, so I turned around. I've still been watching her close. She's improved but something still seems to be wrong. I noticed several times one of her eyes is staying partly closed, sometimes twitching, and just a few moments ago was teared up. I don't know if her eye is causing all the other discomfort or the discomfort is causing her eye to tear up. But the latter seems less likely since it is just the one eye. I have no idea what is going on. But I'm watching very closely. If it weren't for noticeable improvement over the last hour, I'd be at the vet now. I'm still hoping it's just a tummy ache or that she got into something that's caused some irritation... I did find a can of Glade deodorizing spray with the top missing behind a cabinet, but that was probably the work of my ferrets when they were out of the cage. I don't see how any of them could discharge it. Likely the top broke off when they pushed it off the cabinet. Of course, an irritant like that would probably cause the same symptoms wouldn't it?

season? Alison "Randy W. Sims" wrote in message ... I have a Tonkinese kitten of about ~6 months.

That was actually the first thought that popped into my mind too. Just the
right age as well. Me, too. I don't know about the eye thing but constantly rolling around and trying to reposition herself and the clear discharge are signs of heat. Is she meowing a lot, too?

Females can go into heat by as early as 4 months. If I were you, I'd schedule an appointment to have her neutered as soon as possible. Phil |
