Do cats leak blood when in heat?

If you notice that your cat is bleeding from her private area, it is completely normal to feel alarmed. Generally, if your cat is bleeding from her vulva, it is a sign that she is facing a health problem.

Cystitis, uterine infections, trauma or tumors, may be some of the main reasons that could explain why your cat is bleeding from her vulva. This is when the main question arises: what do you do? The first thing we suggest doing is visiting your veterinarian immediately. This is because some of the causes of this symptomatology can be deadly.

In this AnimalWised article, we will be discussing possible causes of why your cat is bleeding from her private area. In addition, we will be explaining what treatment could be applied. It is, however, extremely important that if you notice this symptom, you visit your veterinarian as soon as possible.

There is a misconception, that because bitches bleed in heat, so do female cats. This, however, is not true.

Cats do not bleed when they are in heat. Therefore, if you notice that your cat is bleeding brown/reddish liquid, or you notice the appearance of blood when your cat pees: this is a symptom of pathology. For more, keep reading to find out the main causes of vaginal bleeding in cats.

Cystitis in cats consists of an inflammation of the bladder. Cystitis in cats can be caused by: a urinary infection, an excessive proliferation of bacteria, kidney disease and even a trauma, such as a hit or blow.

Symptoms or signs of cystitis in cats include:

Usually, in a case of cystitis, you will notice the presence of fresh blood in your cat’s urine. A veterinarian will also notice the presence of bacteria in the urine, when looked at microscopically. This pathology usually carries a good prognosis, since cystitis is easily treated with antibiotics: which must be prescribed by a veterinarian.

Pyometra in cats is an infection which consists of an accumulation of pus inside of a cat’s uterus. Pyometra in cats is extremely dangerous and can be lethal if not treated in time. Pyometra usually affects cats older than 8 years old that have not been sterilized. Or, it is also known to have affected cats that have received hormonal treatment.

The disease appears as a result of a bacterial contraction during a cat’s estrus phase (when a cat begins to accept mounting).

There are two types of pyometra:

  • Closed: when the pus is not expelled and the uterus can burst, producing a peritonitis.
  • Open: which, among other signs, is evidenced by: bleeding with pus, dehydration, frequent urination and lethargy.

In order to diagnose this pathology, an ultrasound and blood samples are required. Treating pyometra in cats entails surgery and/or a drug administration: always prescribed by a veterinarian.

If your cat is pregnant and you notice that she is bleeding from her vulva: she may be experiencing a miscarriage. Depending on the stage of pregnancy in which your cat is in, the risk levels will vary:

  • First weeks of pregnancy: it is possible that it is due to the death of one of the kittens. This stage in which the fetuses are still poorly formed, the body of most cats simply absorbs the tissue. Therefore, the possibilities of complication are low.
  • Middle of the gestation: here, it is probable that the mother and the rest of the kittens are in danger. In this phase, abortions can be spontaneous. often due to: trauma or a serious uterine infection.

In both cases it is essential to go to the veterinarian immediately. A professional will be able to analyse the situation and treat it accordingly. A veterinarian will most likely request an ultrasound or x-ray in order to evaluate the cat’s state of pregnancy.

When it comes to a cat giving birth, it is normal that she might bleed through her vulva.

Before delivery, a cat will not only bleed through her vulva, but will also seem more restless. A cat that is about to give birth will also look for a ‘safe’ place to birth her kittens. Once this spot is found, your cat will expel some mucus: the mucus plug that indicates that delivery is about to take place.

The presence of kidney stones is a very annoying health problem for cats. Kidney stones in cats cause pain when urinating and are very dangerous. One of the main symptoms of kidney stone in cats is urination with blood.

Kidney stones in cats can be caused by different things. The most common, however, is diet. A cat which has been fed a diet high in saturated fats and flour, is more susceptible to developing kidney stones. This is why a high-quality cat diet is recommended for your felines.

Physical trauma in cats occurs after a hard blow or fall. This type of trauma can occur after a fight with another cat, a blow or a fall: something that physically damages the cat’s organism. When this happens, it is not uncommon for your cat to bleed through her vulva and/or other parts of the body. In some cases, you might even notice a presence of marks or wounds on the cat’s body, like bruises or cuts.

Injuries on any animal are very dangerous, as they could involve possible damage to vital organs, as well as internal bleeding. If you suspect that your cat is suffering from any physical trauma or blow, we suggest visiting your veterinarian as soon as possible.

A tumor consists of an abnormal growth of tissue. Tumors can occur on any part of the body, such as : renal, reproductive or urinary organs. In these cases, your cat will most likely suffer symptoms of bleeding while urinating.

It is important to note that most tumors, whether benign or malignant, are discreet. Therefore, in order to treat and diagnose this case, an immediate visit to the veterinarian is necessary.

Observing abnormal bleeding such as those previously described can be very alarming, but remember to remain calm.

If you observe this type of bleeding in your cat, consult a veterinarian as soon as possible. In addition, some of the diseases that cause bleeding while urinating can be lethal; if not treated in time. Therefore, immediate action is required.

Also, remember that you should never self-medicate your cat and/or ignore symptoms of illness,pain or discomfort.

Since vaginal discharge in cats can have a variety of causes, treatment will be tailored as much as possible to the underlying disease or condition.  

Treatment of Infection, or Pyometra

If the underlying cause of the vaginal discharge is diagnosed as pyometra, or an infection of the uterus, your vet will have several courses of treatment to recommend. The most common course of treatment for pyometra is surgical, in which a spay procedure is performed and the entire uterus is removed.  The doctor will take care to not nick or puncture the uterus which would spread the infection throughout your cat.  It is important to note that while this may be the more invasive procedure, it also produces the highest rates of recovery as the condition cannot recur once the uterus is removed.

Treatment of Other Causes of Vaginal Discharge in Your Cat

Treatment of vaginal discharge in your cat in cases other than infection can range from physical removal of a foreign object to management with medication.  In the case of injury, your doctor may prescribe an antibiotic cream to prevent additional infection of the area.  In the case of a UTI, oral antibiotics can also be administered.

Do cats leak blood when in heat?

A clear liquid is normal in cats in heat and isn’t anything to be worried about unless it turns white or has a fetid odour. This may occur for sometime during and for a little time after her heat cycle. Regards Dr Callum Turner DVM

My cats pregnant and is having her babies in about a week, she has this brown little ball hanging from the hair on her vagina. I got one off of her before a few weeks ago Ive tried to search what it could be but no luck is it normal? I'm guessing it was discharge from pregnancy? It's not red or green and she doesn't smell. Just a little brown ballish thing. I just would like to know if it's maybe serious so I can make arrangements to send her to the vet. I'm very short on money and am expecting as well but will take her if it's an emergency.

My Siamese is 6 months old and went into heat a couple weeks ago, 3 days ago she has had some light pink discharge dripping on bed and blankets and floor none yesterday and back again today. she is acting normal eating and drinking and using litter box (inside only cat no other pets). I have an appointment to get her fixed on 5/5. Is there something I should worry about or is this part of heat cycle?

I have a stray cat that Ifound a home for. I took her to the vet about two weeka ago and they said her health appears good in unrinary/reproductive but they were not 100 percent sure she was pregnant. she looks pregnant becuase her belly has grown, has a bigger appetite, and he nipple are pinker and larger. I saw that she has some light green mucus is her vagina. she has an appointment to get spayed next week. I don't know if i should take her to the vet since they said she was healthy two weeks ago, but she has some green mucus in her vagina, so I don't know if she is sick or it's normal

I have at 2 year old cat female who is having vaginal discharge is a whitish yellowish color and I was wondering if it's safe for her

No
