Hello, at this point, just give her some more time, as long as she does not seem to be in any distress. Milk letdown is often stimulated with uterine contractions & the physical stimulation of the kittens attaching to the nipples. Since I cannot see the actual discharge you are seeing, I cannot say if this is normal cervical secretions or a problem, so if you are very concerned, contact your veterinarian to examine her to make sure she is having a healthy pregnancy. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

The vaginal discharge may be seen for about 10 days after delivery. This is normal. What is not normal is her overall condition and other symptoms. She may have a respiratory infection or other infection. Ideally, she should be physically examined by your veterinarian. She may require supportive care (IV or subcutaneous fluids, parenteral nutrition ,antibiotics, etc) until she is feeling better and eating more. You can offer her a high quality kitten food. You may need to supplement the kitten's with an appropriate milk replacer such as KMR until Meeyao is able to nurse them herself.
