My pregnant cat has brown discharge and is due soon. Is this normal?

Hello, mild discharge during gestation is normal. As long as Shadow is otherwise eating, drinking, defecating, and urinating normally and she seems otherwise like her normal self, then I would continue to monitor her. If you ever see larger volumes of discharge or bleeding then I would definitely have Shadow evaluated by a veterinarian immediately. Hope this helps

Hello, at this point, just give her some more time, as long as she does not seem to be in any distress. Milk letdown is often stimulated with uterine contractions & the physical stimulation of the kittens attaching to the nipples. Since I cannot see the actual discharge you are seeing, I cannot say if this is normal cervical secretions or a problem, so if you are very concerned, contact your veterinarian to examine her to make sure she is having a healthy pregnancy.

There is often a small amount of pink/watery vaginal discharge shortly before the cat goes into labour. If Kia is acting as normal, there is no vomiting and she has good appetite, you should monitor her at home. However, if there is any change and she becomes unwell, please take her to your local vets for a check.

I can certainly understand being worried! It's not normal for a cat to have a brownish fluid discharge, either pregnant or not. If she is pregnant, this can be a sign of a spontaneous abortion, or it can be a pyometra. Either is a medical emergency, and I would take Kiara back into a vet immediately.

Hello. A cat is pregnant an average of 63 days. A mucous or slightly discolored discharge could very well indicate that your cat is in the early stages of labor. She may still be a day or so away from actually delivering her kittens, but it should be soon. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Hello, thank you for using PetCoach. If you see the discharge and no kittens have been produced within 2 hours then yes, you should take her to the ER. Here is an information sheet on what to expect when a cat gives birth: ( https://www.petcoach.co/article/queening-giving-birth-in-cats/ ) Hope this helps. Best wishes.

The greenish discharge can indicate early separation of the placenta, and it's not considered normal in cats. It could be that one of the kittens could have separated early from its placenta, and I would take Mia into the vet now to get checked up to be safe. Best of luck.
