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

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.

Poor Cinnamon. Unfortunately without seeing her in person, it is impossible to say for sure what could be the cause for the blood. It could be a urinary tract infection, a uterine infection, colitis (blood from anus), or even a miscarriage. I have see straight blood come from all of these conditions. I would strongly recommend have your vet take a look at her to try and figure out what could be causing the blood. Your vet may be able to determine whether or not she is pregnant and also determine the cause of the blood and get her started on the proper (and safe) meds to help her feel better. If she is having a miscarriage and the fetuses die but she doesn't expel of them, this could cause her to become really sick if left untreated. I hope this helps and you are able to figure out where the blood is coming from.

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.

There are several possibilities: She had a miscarriage and the kittens were dead and she cleaned up, ie ate them. Or she had them and hid them. You will know soon, when she disappears once in a while....you may need to follow her secretly to find the babies. third possibilities is that the babies had some defects and she ate them. She will have a discharge for about a week , which should be odorless. If she gets lethargic, stops eating or if the discharge gets smelly she will need to be examined by a vet.

Hi there. In a scenario involving blood like this the best thing to do would be to take Booboo in to your local vet for an ultrasound or x rays. They can help determine pregnancy and they can help you find the source of the bleeding and potentially stop it. Hope this helps!

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!

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
