My pregnant cat is one month along and bleeding from the bottom, dripping everywhere; she earlier had a hairless premature kitten that died; can this litter be saved?

Bleeding at one month of pregnancy suggests a miscarriage; take the cat to a hospital for an ultrasound to find the cause and judge fetal survival. Cat miscarriage includes premature birth, dead fetus, mummified fetus, and fetal resorption.
If miscarriage occurs after one month, you may see heavy red discharge and abdominal pain, and the litter may not be saved; surgery to remove it may be needed to prevent infection from a dead fetus in the abdomen. If the cat has repeated abnormal births, do not breed her again and spay for her health.
