My cat returned after pregnancy, bleeding and very ill. Is it serious?

Question

My adult cat was pregnant.She went missing for about 2 weeks and showed up just 2 days ago in very poor condition.She is feeble,thin,suffering from cold and running nose,dehydrated and eating very little.Now,from yesterday onwards i am noticing that she is bleeding 3 to 4 times in a day(approximately 3-4 drops of blood at a time).Only 2 of her breasts are slightly swollen but with no lactation, they are all dry.Is this normal or is it a matter of concern for her health as well as of her babies? Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Female | unspayed | 6 years and 9 months old

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.
