    Pregnant cat, 10% excitement, 90% major stress

    Mum is recovering fine, no issues, minor skin infection that was treated with diluted chlohexidine as advised by my vet. I did take the kitty to be seen and get advice (before your reply). Plan is to give some top ups BUT she won't take the bottle, won't take a syringe, won't take the special...

    Pregnant cat, 10% excitement, 90% major stress

    Update. She needed an emergency c section for her last 2 babies, she kept losing blood, and contractions hadn't started again. The vet did an ultrasound, saw one kitten barely moving amf their heart rate crashing. It took an hour before I heard all was OK. 8 days later ONE KITTEN ISNT GAINING...

    Pregnant cat, 10% excitement, 90% major stress

    2 babies born, she has 1 or 2 more to come. She purred the whole time, allows me to assist when needed - couldn't help myself, I lifted her leg to make more room in her pelvis, and she started pushing her leg against my hand, and out came the 1st baby. 20 mins later, 2nd one born. Been 3 hours...

    Pregnant cat, 10% excitement, 90% major stress

    Temp has dropped and she didn't eat much dinner. No other signs.. it's 7pm where I am, I'll be going to bed as usual in a couple of hours, but I'll limit where she can go in the house so I can hear her if things happen overnight. As nice as it would be for them to come overnight, I'm not really...

    Pregnant cat, 10% excitement, 90% major stress

    She's been hiding a bit today. Nowhere too crazy, but digging at blankets, and hiding under things. Her nipples have become books- I'm not going to squeeze them, but there are wee bags, under her nipples that are full, esp the back two. The fur around her nipples has finally come away, definite...

    I'll be erring on side of caution and phoning the vet for anything out of the ordinary happens. I'm a midwife, so I'm aware of the risk of infection once waters break. I'm sorry to hear about yr kittens, that's awful. Your vet is probably right though - even if you had taken her to be seen, it...

    Thanks for the tip the armpit..ill try that. Some things ive read suggest it can be a fleeting drop in temp and you can miss it? Is checking twice a day enough?

    Question- just noticed she has light yellow discharge coming from her vulva..it's mucousy in consistency, no blood, doesn't smell, she's eating normally - is this normal for 8 weeks??? She's licking herself more often there, but the area isn't irritated...
