Is it normal for a cat to have vaginal discharge (including blood) after it has given birth?

It is normal for the queen to have a mild discharge for a few weeks after giving birth. The cat should however be happy, alert and seem well in itself. The discharge should not smell bad or contain pus. If the cat seems unwell, or if the vaginal discharge is copious, looks strange, or is malodorous, it is best to consult a veterinarian as soon as possible.
