Uh, Christy, good luck with other sites....if you find one that will diagnose your cat sight unseen based only on what you wrote here, well, need I say more.
Sorry, but no internet web site should ever take the place of proper veterinary care. We did the best we could here with what you provided....NO ONE can tell you anything more than your vet. Since you don't know if this is actual pregnancy and nearing delivery or something else entirely, NO ONE can tell you anything more than your vet.
pregnancy, miscarriage, sick???

Re: pregnancy, miscarriage, sick???
Uh, Traci, i was not asking for a diagnosis, i was seeing if anyone else had experienced this, and obviously they haven't and that's fine. I'm not thanking everyone for the sites in hope to find the answer, I'm thanking them because there is good information. I am not using the internet to replace a vet, I'm not stupid. Like i said i was just seeing if maybe someone else has experienced this. Enough said about it.

Sorry if I misunderstood Christy, your last post sounded odd to me, my mistake.
In any event, 4 of us did respond to your questions, three of us whom in fact have experience with feline pregnancy and delivery. The concern is that you indicated bleeding for two days and not eating for two days. There are various complications that can develop for a first-time queen and we simply felt compelled to detail those, and to advise a vet visit.
Again, if you don't know for certain IF she is pregnant, we don't know that either. There are other health issues that could be concerning here other than pregnancy, pyometra and infection could be one such problem. While it is fairly easy to tell if a cat is pregnant, for first-time owners or even with a petite kitty that doesn't even show her pregnancy in full term, it can be more difficult to tell. For that reason, it would be best to have a vet examine her to determine either way and/or to make absolutely certain something altogether different was not a concern.
