Question
how long does it take the placental site to heal after delivery?

Answer
Kefas,

I am assuming you mean the kittens. Normally, the cords dry up and fall of within a week or two.  If there is any bleeding from the kitten's umbilical ares, you may want to visit your vet as there is some kind of problem going on.

Please let me know what you find.

Concerned regards... Norm
