Question
my cat has been leaking fluids for almost 3 days now, and still has not started to deliver. i am wondering if this is normal or if i should do something to help her get started. thanks.

Answer
This depends on her age, how many litters she has had, how long she has been pregnant.
Any kind of leaking is not good, but depending on color, smell etc, is whether or not is a real emergency or a trip to the vet's tomorrow.

She could be aborting, she could have dead kittens in there- many things can cause this, but it is NOT normal for a cat to leak and leak.

Is she were my at I would have been on the phone on day two of leakage asking what to do. She needs to see a vet is the bottom line here and very soon, like tomorrow morning.

I would not wait another day!
