8-9 Month Old Kitten is Pregnant (Help Required!)

[halliethekitten]

I'll bring it up Friday afternoon, during the appointment. Hopefully this is what she needs and it'll cure her bleeding. Another thing that I'm worried over is the price for both the c-section and spay. She's already come up to around $1,000+ in USD. There's a ton that I must pay.. I just want the best for her and her kitten. Are there any kitten formulas that you'd recommend? I have no experience with such. Must I get the formulas from the vet, or some pet store?

It's available at pet stores. You can also use goat's milk if that's easier to get and cheaper.

The surgery will not be cheap, but may be necessary. You should ask about a payment plan if need be.

How much and how often is mom bleeding?

 

[halliethekitten]

Will be searching them soon. Hallie bleeds just about everyday. At times they may be small drips, spots, or even large pools of blood. I do have a few photos, although I'm unsure if it'd be appropriate to post them here. Perhaps some may have weak stomachs, or simply don't want to take a look. If you're interested, I can pm you them (if that even works? unsure, for i'm new).

 

[Sarthur2]

The blood is the reason for your concerns. Please post the pictures. I'm concerned about you even waiting until Friday to see the vet again.

Is your cat lethargic at all? Is she eating?

She's not as enthusiastic about eating. Although she'll eat slightly more so if I'm nearby or feeding from my hand. Doesn't lick the bowl clean as she used to.

Did your queen need any vet care? Emergency c-section? Your help? I'm unsure when exactly Hallie became pregnant.. We've had her for two months and a few days, so she's pretty close to delivering. Vet says she should be around 8-9 months old or so. It's great to hear that your mum cat was able to birth that little cutie!

 

[dimples]

I didn't have to bring her in.
I was a regular. Caller to my Veterinarian lol..
Almost 2 times a day..
She never looked pregnant but Goober was quite large for one kitten.
Here is Goober at 4 days old

Thank you for the pictures. That is not normal. Your cat should really see the vet tomorrow.

 

[halliethekitten]

He's a cutie! Thanks for sharing information and photos with me. Hopefully Hallie will have an easy birth, and the bleeding stops.

 

[halliethekitten]

Thank you for the pictures. That is not normal. Your cat should really see the vet tomorrow.

I'm aware that it's abnormal, and it deeply troubles me. So far we've visited about 4 times. Called in on numerous of occasions. It seems as if nobody can pinpoint what exactly is causing the bleeding, they merely use the excuse of "she's pregnant", or "some pregnant cats bleed more than others". Everything else appears to be fine aside from the odors, bleeding, and lack of eating. I'm afraid that I'll have to wait until Friday, unless she goes into labor tomorrow, or displays any more/worse symptoms.  I've been staying up and not going out as much just to keep an eye on her. She's rarely ever out of my sight, so it's likely that i'd notice any further changes.

 

[Sarthur2]

Let us know what happens Friday.

 

[halliethekitten]

Let us know what happens Friday.

I'll be sure to! Thank you so much for your advice and concern. I appreciate it.

The last time we saw a mom cat bleeding and the vets said it was okay, it ended up being very much the opposite. I really feel like it's putting her health in danger by allowing this to continue. [emoji]128532[/emoji] Hope the vet has answers today.

UPDATE 2:

Hallie is still doing well, although the bleeding and lack of eating persists. I've been getting her to eat more by hand-feeding. For some reason, she seems to prefer such. Her red blood cells have increased from 32 to 37, so that's great. The kit still has a healthy heartbeat, and appears to be alright. No fever, fleas seem to be gone, and both cats are doing okay. I did ask about a c-section, all of the 5 doctors in the place had discussed this with one another. They believe that it'd be better to wait it out, seeing as there are no issues present. From what they can tell at the moment, all is going smoothly. I've scheduled for yet another appointment next week on Saturday. If she hasn't given birth my then, it's likely that she'd be overdue. They'll check on her once more, and perhaps.. She'll have a surgery. Hopefully all continues to go well!

 

[krissy marissy]

I'm not sure how a cat bleeding for days is going smoothly, but I hope they're right.

 

[Sarthur2]

There are issues though - bleeding and lack of eating!

I thought you said she was already 65 days the other day. I'm perplexed that the vet does not think surgery necessary since the kitten is fully developed and mom continues to bleed. Especially since she is showing no signs of going into labor. The fact she's barely eating concerns me as well. She must not feel well.

Most pregnant cats do not bleed at all until they begin giving birth, and they eat heartily until then as well. I hope she's okay. I'm very concerned though.
