Pregnant cat having dead kittens, bleeding eyes. Is it an emergency?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female

One of the cats in our street was pregnant for a prolonged time, then started to give birth to dead kittens one by one for the past week. Now it has been 1 full week and she already gave birth to 5-6 dead kittens. The vet says its normal but today she started bleeding out of her eyes and still there must be one more kitten inside her. We dont know what to do?? Is she going to die?

Try to catch her and take her to the vet. This cat may be septic and will need antibiotics and possibly have the kitten removed, if there is another in her. There is nothing you can do at home. This is a serious health matter, Thank you for worrying and taking care of this poor kitty.
