My pregnant cat has pinkish-brown discharge. Is this normal?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Female | unspayed | 12 lbs

My cat is pregnant for like 50 to 60 odd days. She’s been passing some light brown pinkish discharge from past 10 days on and off. Discharge is less. Her nipples have not produced milk as of now and she’s eating proper with normal behaviour. Just worried about the on and off discharge. She’s also not been able to clean her after passing stools.

The on off discharge is quite concerning and is not normal, it may be related to infection or loss of the protective fluids around the kittens. I strongly recommend an ultrasound scan to assess the health of the pregnancy and determine what action is required
