  That looks like pus. Since she is spayed, the infection can be limited to the vulva or it may spread to the bladder there. Keep the area clean and try to wipe away as much as possible so it can't spread. She does need to see a vet as antibiotics will be needed to cure this

  This maybe from a vaginal or uterine infection. This can possible coincide with a recent heat cycle. She will likely need to be checked by your vet to see if she needs antibiotics or possibly being spayed.

  Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! The yellow discharge alone does not warrant a trip to the vet. I would be concerned about an infection around that area, in her vagina or in her urine. A lack of odor doesn’t mean anything either but you haven’t mentioned other signs, like increased thirst, urination, change in appetite, or lethargy. At this time I would continue to monitor Koa for these other signs and if noted, then I would see her veterinarian. If you do see the vet, try to catch a fresh urine sample in a clean container and bring it with you to her appointment. Good luck and kisses to Koa!
