I guess it’s the funky smell that is throwing me off a bit, in combination with the amount of fluid. Both back legs and her tail were soaked and I can smell her from a couple feet away. But again- it’s more of an ammonia smell mixed with a normal “ fresh mother” smell. Nothing TOO offensive.
I...
Oh geez, thank you for merging my posts. I had forgotten about the first one. :)
So another question.... I’m really hoping everything is normal here and it’s just a little anxiety getting the best of me..... I have fostered many many neonates but haven’t had a mother with her litter in my care...
Here’s a few pictures of her. In labor. Fresh babies. Established in my closet. And laying on my bed today.
I’m so proud lol I love this little family so much. I’m sure my own pregnancy emotions are getting the better of me HAHA!!
Ugh. This baby. Looong story so I will try to make it short..... this is the same cat.
Someone got into my house and let her outside. I honestly think my landlord came in while I wasnt home and put her out because I’m not supposed to have an “extra” cat. But I can’t prove that.
Anybway- she...
I do and I just gave her a dish. She ate it right up. It was the last, but Iv asked my husband to stop and get more,and wet food, on his way home from work today.
I know when I’m nursing my own babies it’s pretty exhausting, haha.
She had six babies but only five made it. Baby six was still born and I could not get him started. She’s quite bonded with me and gave birth practically on my lap. I want to keep, her but in about 12 weeks after every one has...
We took in a stray cat and it turns out she was pregnant. No big deal. She had her kittens on Friday night and everything went well. The kittens are coming up on 72 hours old and I noticed that when mama nurses them her breathing becomes rapid. At other times it is not so bad although...
Very well thanks for asking!
Her coat is sleek and shiny again. She’s out in a ton of weight. Her paw pads are healing and becoming soft again( they were dry and cracked from the elements ) and we are expecting kittens any time from tomorrow to the next two weeks, lol. Still not sure how far...
I agree she was very clearly someone’s pet. It’s not often that people in my VERY tiny, rural community chip their pets. I fact- none of the local vets will even do it. It’s more likely unfortunately that she and her pervious litter were dumped in the woods behind my house. That happens...
I’m actualy well acquainted with the vets in my area. Iv been to nearly all of them in the past, having lived here in central California my entire life. They all work with the organization that I’m associated with- but because it’s so close to the end of the year the grant funds are essentially...
As I sit her petting her, her belly is round and firm for sure. I feel silly questioning a pregnancy because it seems a little obvious. I’m just anxious I guess.
Pregnant * again* ?
im Not positive she has ever given birth before.
I cannot take her to a vet right now. I just can’t swing it so close to The holidays.
Three nights ago an affectionate, beautiful,yet malnourished stray showed up on my door step. I immediately bonded with her- I’m so in love. As I went to feed her and saw how loving she was I picked her up and right away said “ OH!shes all lumpy...? She just had babies!” Her breast tissue was...
You dont actually want to dust them with DE because inhaling it is dangerous to both pets and humans.
I have the rest of the suggestions taken into account and under control already- (sanitizing and being alowed around my other pets etc. )
After doing many searches and asking around I still...
So as I clicked each one of those links, I realized that I had tear them all both last night and earlier today and taken note of all that info allready. But I feel better now, having those specific links recommended.
