My cat is crying and has discharge. Is she in labor or miscarrying?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This is quite unusual and does not necessarily mean miscarriage. It would be best to have her evaluated by a veterinarian as soon as possible for further assessment and treatment. They would be able to gather a more thorough history and proceed to examine her and this tissue to proceed with recommendations accordingly. Best of luck!

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

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Bella is beautiful! My concern is that Bella is not spayed and I am worried about the the mucous discharge you are describing. It may be coming from her vulva. She may have a mucous or pus filled uterus. With her belly being big too that is even more likely to be a uterus problem. Is she has a pus filled uterus (pyometra) that is a surgical emergency. It is good that it is draining. My recommendation is have her looked at sooner than later. Your Vet will likely do blood work and take a belly X-ray. I wish you and Bella the best of luck!

Any discharge which does not progress to full labor and delivery within 2 hours is a medical emergency. It is particularly the concerning that the kittens are not moving, please have her assessed urgently by a vet to rule out dead kittens and serious infection

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.

I recommend you have Mira seen by a vet immediately in case she has any more kittens stuck in her birth canal, or in case she has an infection in her uterus. If either of these are the case, they could be life threatening. If not, then the vet can help determine if she needs further care for whatever else may be going on with her. I hope she feels better soon!

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Ivy. If possible, she should see a veterinarian for an ultrasound. This will confirm fetal heartbeats to see if the kittens are still alive. Do give any over-the-counter pain medications as these can be toxic to cats. I hope this information helps. Good luck!
