pregnant cat spotting

[delilahjean]

My cat is pregnant not sure how far along but never very big it would have been her first litter she started spotting blood from her ladybitd
about 3 days ago became very affectionate just laid in my arms and slept all day long which is not normal for her now her belly has become very hard she is still eating and pooping normally but every thing I have been able to google about this says its a very bad sign she is spotting blood and that she may die. Have tried to get her to a vet but don't have the money and can't find one that will work with me on a payment plan can't surrender her to shelter they said she will just be put to sleep has anyone experienced this and have any advice of what I could do to help her or make her more comfortable on my own I know I'm a bad pet owner for not getting her spayed all ready but that's not her fault a d I just need to know what I could do to help her be better please

It depends in much how much this spotting is - a few drops during the day, or is it flowing?

Also, is it real blood, or is it red colored water?   Some blood colored discharges is  normal.  As long as there is nothing more peculiar.   Its real blood we dont want.

If it is real blood, and more than a few drops, it cant be helped.  You must contact a real vet.  Someone who is used with obstetrics.

Try to raise money among your friends, relatives, neigbours.  In times of a dire need, its the social norm people shall help.   And try to find some cheap vet.   Places who make cheap spayings, are probably also willing to do vet treatment cheapier than a fashionable vet.

This shelter you mention, can they recommend you which cheap vet they use?

Good luck!   @delilahjean

It is actual blood it wad kind of heavy at first but has slowed down alot now I have no family or friends here I called my dad but he can't help I called all the vets were I live been on the phone since 11 this morning the cheapest vet I could find in this small town was still over two hundred dollars for visit,xray,and sedation and that dosent include any other tests or medicine she might need I called the humane society thinking mabey if I surrendered her she could get the help she needs but they said they would just put her to sleep I found one no kill shelter about 30 miles from me but can't get anyone to answer the phone the only thing I can do is try to make her as comfortable as possible and do what I can for her here at home.

 the only thing I can do is try to make her as comfortable as possible and do what I can for her here at home.

Sometimes its the only to do, and it may even be enough.   Making comfortable, being warm, cared for - and pray.

Where are you living, if somebody who knows more than I comes and has advice?

*vibes!*

I'm sorry.
This is a sticky about If you can't afford a vet, but seems you've covered the basis.
Good luck.
