After a cat is spayed, she should not have periods. If you notice any discharge, it's important to investigate further as it could indicate an underlying problem.
- Vaginal discharge in a spayed cat may be a sign of infection or other medical issues.
- Additional symptoms like changes in appetite, behavior, or litter box habits should be noted.
- Observing any signs of pain or discomfort in your cat warrants a veterinary check-up.
If discharge is present, it is vital to consult with a veterinarian to determine the cause. This could be due to infections, such as a urinary tract infection or vaginitis, or other medical conditions that need attention.
