My Pregnant Cat Has Been Leaking Clear Fluid For 36 Hours!

Thanks for reaching out about your pregnant cat. Leaking clear fluid during pregnancy is definitely something to monitor closely. This fluid could be amniotic fluid, which might mean labor is approaching. Normally, labor in cats starts with contractions within hours of this happening.



However, since it's been 36 hours, it's important to consider other possibilities as there could be complications. For instance, your cat might be experiencing a premature rupture of membranes, or there could be an infection. These scenarios can potentially put both the mother and her kittens at risk.



At home, ensure your cat is comfortable in a quiet, calm environment with access to water and her favorite food. Keeping her stress levels low is crucial.



Watch for signs of distress such as excessive panting, vocalization, or any indicators of pain. If you notice any unusual discharge that is green, yellow, or foul-smelling, or if she seems lethargic or stops eating entirely, these are signs to seek immediate veterinary care.



Please consider booking a video consult with Dial A Vet to discuss this further. It’s important to get personalized advice from a vet who can guide you through the next steps, ensuring your cat and her kittens stay healthy and safe.
