Updated on September 23rd, 2025

I have a 3yr old female short hair Russian blue cat, we didn't know she was pregnant at all, but it seems she is having a miscarriage, there's alittle bleeding not heavy or constant, her belly feels like there's only one small baby maybe 2inches in size, what should I be watching for in case we need to go to the 24hr vet

The bleeding is definitely not normal. I think you should take her to a vet tomorrow for sure. If she starts to act sick at all tonight - not eating, very lethargic, pushing like she is trying to give birth but nothing is coming out, etc then she needs to see a vet tonight.

My pregnant cat is bleeding, weak. Is she miscarrying? What to do?

I'm so sorry that Preciosa is experiencing a miscarriage! Given that she is weak and lethargic, I would have her seen by a vet immediately. She needs veterinary attention to prevent hemorrhage or infection that can result if tissue remains in the uterus.

Pregnant cat bleeding, passed strange object, no kittens. What to do?

Please take her to your nearest vet if labour does not progress within the next hour. What she has passed may be a deformed kitten but now that she has started the rest of the litter must follow or she is at severe risk of infection

My female cat is bleeding from her vagina, not pregnant or in heat?

Vaginal bleeding in a non-cycling female is considered abnormal. If your cat is acting fine otherwise and does not appear to be in distress, this may be something that can wait until tomorrow. However, if you feel the vaginal bleeding is excessive (versus just a red discharge) enough to where blood loss is a true consideration, this is not something that should wait until morning. Hope this helps.

My cat is bleeding after giving birth to a dead kitten. Is it normal?

You can see some bleeding after giving birth, that is normal, but without seeing her in person, I can't say if it's normal or not for sure I'd be concerned she may have more kittens yet to be born. Have her seen by a vet immediately. As for the milk, yes it's normal to still have milk there.

My pregnant cat is bleeding and licking. Is she having a miscarriage?

Yes, it is possible that Precious could be having a miscarriage. It could also be she has an infection causing her to lick there a lot. It isn't normal for a cat to bleed during a pregnancy, and this is something that needs to be checked out by a vet. I'd advise you to take her into a vet now. Best of luck.

My 8-month-old cat had one kitten and is bleeding. Is this normal?

Blood is not normally seen in the birthing process and usually indicates that there is a complication. While it's possible that she only has one kitten, it's also possible that she has more inside. I recommend taking her to the vet for an evaluation as soon as possible. They can keep things from getting worse and check for any other kittens. I hope that helps and all is well with Baby.

Cat leaking fluid, bleeding, and restless: Is it an emergency?

This sounds like she may be in labour if she has not been neutered and requires urgent veterinary attention at this stage - an emergency c-section may be required. Other possibilities may be severe infection or prolapse which would also require treatment urgently before major blod loss
