Question
okay my cat is only around 5 years old an has never been outside or around a old enough male cat. she was oozing a white goo looking liquid out of her vagina and now she looks pregnant but her nipples are not swollen and i have no clue what it could be

Answer
Dear Brenden

It sounds to me as though your cat has pyometra which needs urgent veterinary attention.  This is a womb infection and she may either need antibiotics to clear it up or she will need to be neutered.  If she looks pregnant with it, then her womb is very full of pus, and no doubt she will need to be neutered and the vet will have to do it very carefully as he must remove the womb without spilling any of the pus that is in there.

Please do not delay - take her to the vet as soon as possible.
