my 9 month old Siberian Forest kitty has been in heat 2x's, and has been bleeding for a week now. I called the vet a few days ago, they said it was probably just her period, and she was scheduled to be fixed today anyway (along w/ our 6 month old male cat - not her brother but same breeder).
I freaked out last night and brought her to the overnight emergency vet. Her bleeding was just too much for me to feel comfortable. He said she looked fine, vitals fine, and did a blood test to just be sure she'd be ok overnight. He gave her an antibiotic shot too.
Brought her to our vet this morning, they ran some tests. She has high liver counts and her white blood cells are high. She sat in the vet all day today, and hardly bled. They had me bring her home and we're going to try to wait 2 weeks for the antibiotics to maybe help. They don't know whats going on (and the emergency vet last night just kept saying "I don't know" also). They said though if she bleeds a lot again, they want me to bring her right in and they'll fix her.
She got home, has been separated from our male cat so I know he didn't do anything to her, and after we were home for a couple of hours, she bled a lot again. So I'm going to bring her in tomorrow morning.
Just wondering if anyone has had a female that did a lot of bleeding.
Oh, and we thought the bleeding was maybe from the male cat having sex with her, but today they were separated.
I'm so worried about my baby... hoping someone here has gone through something similar.
thanks in advance if anyone has any info/advice.
