It sounds like you're understandably concerned about the possibility of pyometra, which is a serious uterine infection that can occur in unspayed female animals. The symptoms you've noticed, such as discharge and sensitivity or aggression when her stomach is touched, could indeed be indicative of this condition.

Pyometra is potentially life-threatening and requires immediate veterinary attention. In the meantime, there are a few steps you can take to help monitor her condition:

Firstly, ensure she is comfortable by providing a quiet and warm place for her to rest, minimizing any stress. Keep an eye out for additional symptoms, such as increased thirst, lethargy, or changes in her appetite. It's important to avoid pressing on her abdomen or causing her any unnecessary discomfort.

Given the symptoms and the potential seriousness of pyometra, I strongly recommend contacting a veterinarian as soon as possible. They will be able to conduct the necessary examinations and tests to determine if pyometra is present and discuss treatment options, which often involve surgery.

If you have any further questions or need additional guidance, please feel free to reach out. Thank you for your attention to her health.
