What should I do if my pregnant cat is bleeding from the bottom?

Pregnant cat bleeding from the bottom may be due to constipation or miscarriage. If the cat is close to her due date, it may indicate that she is about to give birth. Owners should first take the cat to a pet hospital for examination to rule out miscarriage and then handle it accordingly based on the examination results. Additionally, it is recommended to have regular ultrasound checks during the cat's pregnancy to determine the due date and the fetus's development.

1. Bleeding caused by constipation

After a female cat becomes pregnant, if she always eats overly dry food and doesn't drink much water, she is prone to constipation. Due to the dry and hard feces, the mucous membrane near the anus is damaged, causing bleeding. However, the amount of bleeding is usually not significant. In this case, owners need to adjust the cat's diet, feed her more nutrient-rich liquid foods with high water content, and give her oral probiotics to regulate her digestion. Also, make sure the cat drinks more water.

1. Bleeding caused by miscarriage

If a cat's pregnancy is not yet full-term, bleeding is likely due to a miscarriage. If the cat gets injured or there are other factors that prevent the fetus from developing, she will miscarry and bleed. Owners need to immediately take the cat to a nearby pet hospital for examination to avoid potential dangers to the cat and the fetus.

1. About to give birth

If a cat's pregnancy is at full term and she is in labor, bleeding from the vagina may indicate that she is about to give birth. Owners need to pay special attention to the cat's labor process. If the cat hasn't given birth after a long period of labor and the bleeding is severe, she may need to be rushed to a pet hospital for a cesarean section.
