So my 8 month old kitty Jinx (female) has had one heat (it ended about 2 1/2 weeks ago) and I'm waiting til my next paycheck to be able to get her spayed. The problem here is that yesterday she started acting a bit weird, the only way I can describe it really is that she just wasn't being her curious-playful self. She was more mellow and sort of "above it all." My boyfriend came home yesterday too after being gone for a week so I thought it was just having to deal with 2 people in my apartment instead of just her and I.
Today she's been making these occassional weird low growly noises. They're not her typical growl, they dont sound aggressive; I decided it was just her stretching or something. Finally I go over and look at her because she's also been licking herself down there an awful lot. I look and see that she has thick yellow discharge coming from her vaginal opening. She let me clean it some with a wet cloth but now she's growling a lot louder and more often. She keeps licking herself to clean the discharge (is that healthy?) and growling. She won't walk normally, she keeps very low to the ground and walks very slowly.
I called the vet they said it might be her going into heat again, but it wasnt like this AT ALL last time. So I'm taking Jinx in tomorrow morning but what until then? Is she OK to lick herself so much? Should I continue cleaning it with a damp cloth? Should we leave her alone completely?
Any advice would be VERY appreciated! Thanks so much y'all!
