Cat bleeding and no kittens found
- Thread starter tizzyz_mum
- Start Date
Please continue to try vets - someone will see her, and it is of paramount importance that they do.
Keep her indoors only right now...and continue to reach out to vets to see if you can take her in. Are you certain she was pregnant?? A hard stomache can be a sign of a bad case of worms. Does she show any sign of milk production??

Hiya,
Thanks for the reply. I wasnt sure if she was pregnant but we have always suspected. She has a little hard tummy and thats unusal for her because she never puts on weight normally. She eats like a pig though.
She is indoors now and she keeps cuddling up to me and she seems to be very tired. I havent checked the milk because i dont know how and i dont want to hurt her.
I have rang the vets and they told me to leave her be and she will be ok. She will go back to the kittens if she needs/wants too. They wont come out because they told me to leave her alone.

I am no expert by no means but what you described as a plecenta sounds more like a mucus plug. If it was not bright red or maroon then it was probably the mucus plug. When my cat delivered I was there every minute and her placenta's were maroon/blood colored. If you are letting her go outside watch her to see where she goes then look in that spot for the kittens if you do not find any then she probably has not delivered yet and I would keep her inside. I would take her to the vet as soon as possible.

Hiya.
I rang a different vet and she said it might of been a miscaridge. I'm not sure either way now. I can't touch her tummy as she won't me.

Yes i'm taking her tomorrow morning with my dad.
Good idea...also...you will want to schedule her spay appt.

how is she doing????
First of all, gather your cat and go to the vet. Only a vet can determine if she has a dead kitten inside her. If that is so, she might need surgery to have it removed if she cannot pass it. If she does not pass it, it could kill her. They might could give her a shot to induce labor to avoid surgery. GO TO THE VET IN PERSON. This goes beyond needing phone advice. She needs an xray. I would also go to a regular vet and not an er vet. You will get more one on one care. If you call a vet and tell them the problem, they will fit you in. If the first doesn't ...call another... And if she is passing blood, tissue or a kitten, she needs to be seen by a doctor or you could lose her.
I had a dog that was pregnant. Her water broke around one puppy but the puppy could not pass. It finally came out slightly but we had to manually help her give birth. The birth was dry and horrible. She was in terrible pain. When that puppy was removed, it was deceased. The next puppy was also deceased due to the trauma. The next puppy was not breathing but did live after 45 minutes of CPR. The 4th was born alive. This all happened on the way to a vet. Corrie was lucky she lived. We named the two puppied Miracle and Mayo... We adopted them out to wonderful people and they lived a long life together.
But kitty needs to go to the vet asap or you could lose her if she is indeed pregnant or if she is passing tissue. There is something wrong.
Please update on this thread..
Good luck and I'll be watching to see what the vet says.

p.s. One more thing. Hiding places........usually experienced mother will hide premature babies because they know they will not live. Sometimes if they have one prematuraly, the other could still survive. Years ago, I had a cat that did this. She was an inside cat and an outside cat. I was dumb then and did not have her fixed and she was pregnant. I was laying in bed and kept hearing a sound like a kitten. I checked the mama and she was still pregnant so I thought it was my imagination. But I kept hearing this sound. I got back up and sat and really strained to listen and it was coming from my closet. I search the closet and she has buried the baby under some clothes. She rejected it because it was too young. I heated cloths and wrapped it and tried to give it milk on a piece of cloth. The mother would not let it nurse. Myself and a good friend took turns babysitting the kitten to help it survive. It lived a couple weeks but finally it just died. The other kittens were born a month later, all fully healthy and lived long happy lives.... Mother nursed them. She knew they were healthy.

you don't give pregnant cats Xrays... you give them ultra sounds.
xrays should be a last result it's not healthy for the kittens or the queens reproductive system.
Hi, How's it going. Did you get things sorted?
I was looking for an update too. I sure hope it's a vet update and xrays or ultasounds are done....... The vet will know what to do is the kitty goes in. He/she will be able to tell if she's pregnant.
Well I was hoping for an update while reading it as well. I guess you will update us when you get the chance hon. It sounds like its highly possible that it was a miscarriage and that she may not even be pregnant anymore at all. If there were kittens you would probably hear them if she had them nearby. I sure hope that the vet has helped to put your mind at ease about you kitty.
