Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Is Coco in labor? If she has greenish discharge there is placental separation. If there is no kitten born with in 2 hours Coco needs to see a Veterinarian and decide if she needs a C-section to deliver the kittens. I hope this helps and I wish you and Coco the best!
