Hi Trish, you are doing an amazing job caring for those little ones!! It's so hard to know what to do sometimes but we just do our best. My mama cat just had a litter with only one survivor, who was very weak like your little one was. I did take it to the vet about 7 hours after it was born and...

One more update. Xray showed one more fetus, no heartbeat detected. Surgery is recommended but very expensive for me so they are giving her some meds to try and induce labor again so she passes it naturally. I'm kind of frustrated because since we went to urgent care, there were people ahead of...

Update. I brought mama and baby to urgent care. They were backed up but took them to the back and put the baby in an incubator. About an hour and a half later, someone came to tell me the kitten didn't make it. I'm kinda frustrated because I don't think they were paying attention to it. They're...

This little kitty is so sweet and perfect but I can't get her to open her mouth to accept the nipple and I'm scared she won't make it

I thought the mama wasn't done yet, but it's been about 4 hours since the live kitten was born. It does seem pretty weak and doesn't try to nurse even when I put it right up to a nipple. I put a little KMR on its mouth and some honey too, but it doesn't seem interested - doesn't open it's mouth...

Thank you! I think the problem was actually that she was constipated. She began having her kittens this morning and a few hard turds came out with the first one. She had two stillborns first (one looked like it passed away more recently than the other) and one live one so far. She's resting but...

Hi! My soon-to-be mama cat is nearing 8 weeks of pregnancy. About 5 days ago, I noticed a brownish colored discharge and initially thought it was coming from her vulva. First reaction: She's in labor! Yay! That was Monday. Yesterday I took her to the vet because i was worried something was...

Hi everyone! Our cat Artemis is in the late stages of pregnancy. Not positive on date of conception but we've been feeling movement for a little over 2 weeks. Yesterday morning, I noticed a bloody splotch on my pillow. I didn't even think of the cat then, I just thought it was weird cuz I don't...

I have a mama cat who should be giving birth any day now and I have been reading many posts to familiarize myself with others' stories to learn what to except. It would be great to have some of the information in one spot! Here are some questions I have for people who have been through a kitty...

Hi! We have two cats, one male (Apollo) and one female (Artemis). Artemis is nearing the end of her pregnancy. I have an appointment next week for Apollo to be neutered and I will have Artemis spayed as soon as recommended by the vet after the kittens are born, so no worries about that. Both...
