My pregnant cat has a discharge
- Thread starter adham

This with the real need is often difficult to know, esp if you dont know exactly how long the pregnancy is. Pinkish discharge is normal and common. Bright red contains much more than a trace of blood, so its more worrying....
Anyways, most often its better to wait, than to risk an too early delivery, by forcing with hormones or making a cesarean. Kittens manage premature delivery very badly, much much worse than humans. While a little too long pregnacy isnt as serious as with humans.
So usually we dont recomment forcing things, unless there is a clear haste to save the mom.
If she wants and allows belly rubs, do so, it helps things going and is also agood massage.
How long had you been feeling the kittens move? Has she dropped, ie suddenly seems as she is less obvious big??
Is it time for kittens to arrive? Is she full term?

Can you keep her 100% inside and away from intact males now? Do you plan to spay her after this litter?
The pinkish discharge is normal in the days leading up to labor and delivery. If there is significant bright red, fresh blood, she will need to see the vet asap.

Why do you not support spaying?
What is the odor? Is it foul?
The male cat should be neutered. If not, he must be kept away from her.

My concern is that your girl can get pregnant again almost immediately after delivering, even without going into heat. Can you take precautions to protect her? Females should not have more than one litter a year, though they don't need to have any litters at all.

Yes odor is pretty foul
