My cat is spotting blood, but she just gave birth about two or three days ago should i be worried?

Answer by Kate
Hi no I wouldn't worry if it is only a small amount of blood. it is quite common for some spotting to happen after birth (humans have to wear special towels for a day or so after giving birth for a similar reason)

keep an eye on her and if you still notice blood after three days or any other signs of ill health then a visit to the vets will be required. however I'm sure it will clear up shortly.

best wishes and congratulations on your new furry family.
