My Cat Had Yellow Sticky Discharge at 8 PM Two Nights Ago, Nested at Midnight, Brown Discharge Last Night; When Will She Give Birth?
This likely shows waters broke around midnight; labor usually starts within half an hour to an hour. If no contractions after 2 hours, suspect dystocia and get checked. Prepare towels, pads, disinfectant, thread and scissors.
My cat was bred on July 2; is she pregnant now? If so it’s day 58 and she won’t eat, only drinks water—what medicine should I give?
Per the photo, swollen red nipples and a breeding history strongly suggest pregnancy; pregnant cats show increased appetite, sleepiness, larger belly, red nipples; some get irritable. Pre-labor signs: discharge, milk, nesting—near delivery. If appetite stops, don't give medicine blindly (risk to mother/fetus); take to hospital for prenatal check and nutrient IV, and professional pre-delivery care.
What are the signs a cat is about to give birth?
Near birth a cat's belly swells and drops, nipples enlarge and may leak clear or milky fluid, and it shows labor pains and restlessness while seeking a nesting spot. One to two hours before delivery, a small amount of thick fluid leaks from the vagina.
What are the signs before a female cat gives birth?
Before birth a female cat is restless, eats less, with a clearly enlarged and dropped abdomen and nest-building. A few hours before, she has labor pains: tense, anxious, rapid breathing. Mucus from the vulva means birth is near; place her in a whelping box with supplies, or go to a vet if inexperienced.
If my dog got pregnant too young, could she die from difficult labor? What should I do?
Risk varies by age, pelvis, health, fetuses; early pregnancy raises complication risks (oversized pups, small pelvis, immature bones, heart/base disease, uterine rupture/bleeding). Not all die, but avoid early breeding. If pregnant, get prenatal checkups; deliver under vet guidance.
My cat is releasing yellow discharge but has no contractions, doesn’t cry out, and acts completely normal—what does this mean?
If a pregnant cat releases yellow discharge without contractions, the cause depends on her stage of pregnancy. Yellow discharge may signal a uterine or vaginal infection when accompanied by a foul odor or other symptoms, or it may simply be a normal early-pregnancy secretion.
Why is my cat panting with its mouth open?
Open-mouth panting can follow intense exercise needing more oxygen, or signal inflammation, infection, or respiratory/lung disease causing labored breathing. Anxiety can also cause it.
If a cat is pregnant with only one kitten, does it need a cesarean?
One kitten does not always mean a cesarean; it depends on difficult labor. Get a pre-birth X-ray and ultrasound to assess; a single large fetus from overfeeding can cause dystocia, so avoid over-nutrition and get help if labor stalls.
How long is a Chinchilla cat pregnant before delivering kittens?
A Chinchilla cat's pregnancy is about 63 days; some deliver a few days early or late. Before labor it may act restless, lose appetite, and scratch the floor, and usually delivers within 2 hours of water breaking. Prepare a comfortable nest.
My dog has labored breathing, cough, wheezing, runny nose, occasional sneeze; seems bronchitis; 3 months old, male, unneutered, Samoyed-Bichon mix.
Cough and wheezing may come from pneumonia, infection, mycoplasma, bacteria, or distemper, and also heart disease. See a vet to find the cause and treat. Follow the vet's medication to avoid chronic bronchitis or acute pneumonia.
