Has she been pushing at all? If she has, you need to get her to the vet. Saffy did the same thing and had to have an emergency c-sec. There was a kitten stuck in her birth canal that died. I don't want to scare you, but a trip to the vet is always a wise choice when in doubt.
If it is tapeworm, you should be able to see worms segments in her feces. Or if you see what looks like dried rice on the floor, that is also an indicator.
As far as helping to build strength and weight back up, I have been giving Saffy a saucer of the KMR kitten formula every day. She seems...
Please please everyone that is expecting kittens, if you have not done so already, find a vet that is available 24/7 and keep their phone number close at hand.
I am not trying to scare anyone, but if an emergency arises it is horrible to open up the phone book and have to start calling down the...
I am bottling two. (Saffy was pregnant with 3 but should could not deliver them and have to have a c-sec. It was too late for the first one. Saffy fed them herself the first two weeks, but after her third surgery in two weeks she wanted nothing more to do with the kittens. I don't think I...
On kitten-rescue.com they say "If you are using a commercial formula, add a quarter of a teaspoon of full fat yogurt to the first bottle of each day. This will aid in your kitten's digestion."
I know this is a stupid question, but what exactly is full fat yogurt? I have noe been able to find...
The kittens are two weeks old today. I have been warming the formula in hot water until it is slightly warmer that body temperature and giving them the bottles while they are on their stomachs.
I hoping they are just being a little resistent and will take to it better the more we try.
Thank...
Hello everyone! Remember Saffy? We had to take her in for an emergency c-section. Well five days later she was not acting right so we took her back to the vet and she had an infected uterous and had to have an emergency spay. (The vet did do want to spay her at the time of the c-sec to keep...
We have two very healthy babies. One baby was dead when Doc did the c-sec. Momma and babies are home now. Saffy is exhausted and sleeping off the anesthetic, the babies are snuggled up and nursing/sleeping. Everyone please keep us in your thoughts!
Now, I am off to try and raise the...
Well, Saffy is as I type at the vets having an emergency c-section. I have no clue how I am going to pay for it, but she will be okay.
The Doc said the kitten was way too large for her to pass. Call tomorrow morning to see how many kittens we have!
Keep us in your thoughts please?
I posted about our adoptee Saffy the other day. Well she has been in labor since 6:00 pm and every few minutes she pushes very very hard 4 to 5 times and all we have is a very wet butt with a tiny bit of bloody discharge. I know this is probably normal, but I am still worried. She also...
I appreciate that. As I said earlier, we are keeping her in an interior room and plan on having her and all the kittens spayed/nuetered asap. We will be using our regular vet though so I will know exactly who is doing it! I really appreciate you posting the links for the low cost places though.
