My cat has green smelly discharge and pushing after birth. What's wrong?

Question

My cat has a greenish discharge and it smells. She pushes as if she's trying to give birth even though she isn't pregnant anymore and growls. She was pregnant at the end of September and delivered near the end of November. This problem just started recently and I'm unsure of what wrong. She also never delivered the placenta.

A greenish vaginal discharge that persists after the kittens have been delivered can indicate a retained kitten, and/or a retained placenta (although retained placentas are not usually a problem in dogs and cats). Regardless of the underlying cause, this is not normal - I would strongly recommend taking Coco to the vet for an exam as soon as possible. He/she can take x-rays to see if there is still a kitten inside her or if something else is wrong. She may need treatment with antibiotics or even surgery to remove her uterus depending on what is found.
