    nursing cat breathing fast

    Hi Jenny, thanks for the help. I called the emergency vet last night and talked with them for a long time. They said it could be a number of things, but because she was still eating and drinking, with no discharge, and still active, alert and nursing the kittens that it could just be pain. I...

    nursing cat breathing fast

    They did also give her fluids, but I do think she was in pain, and I think she's in pain again now that the meds have worn off. I missed the birth of the last kitten, so I am not sure she passed every placenta. She was checked for fever at the vet and had none. It's fairly warm, but not...

    nursing cat breathing fast

    Hi there, I'm fostering a mother cat again, and it's been an exhausting couple of days. She gave birth to 7 kittens very quickly and all seemed well. The next day she started breathign fast and panting. I took to my vet who said there was another kitten and I should take her home and let her...

    Is this labour? Is she too skinny?

    Well, I thought I would update you with the latest news. Lexi went in to the vet yesterday morning, and the vet discovered she was not pregnant and never had been. She had a stomach infection that was causing her pregnancy signs, oddly enough, and so she was spayed the same day. She's now...

    pregnant cat temperature dropped ?

    Lexi has had those trembly contractions for days now, no distress, and no active labour. It's hard waiting. You and I are in the same boat!

    Is this labour? Is she too skinny?

    You are so kind! I really appreciate it. I want you to know I just called the emergency vet. I'm not someone who only pokes around the internet for help and won't take them into  the vet for medical help. The vet said just what you did, that these things can take a long time, and that as long as...

    Is this labour? Is she too skinny?

    Thanks for the info! That's very interesting! Lexi has continued to have what I'm calling baby contractions... not the big pushing ones, for about 4 days now. They're getting stronger, but if I leave her, or if I go to sleep even, it seems to stop. She's calm and happy most of the time, except...

    Is this labour? Is she too skinny?

    Wow, so that reallly does happen? Two different litters at the same time? That's wild. How do they give birth to only one litter at a time? I'm happy to have someone who knows about pregnant cats having heats. Some people didn't believe me. I mean, I'm no expert. All of mine are spayed and...

    Is this labour? Is she too skinny?

    I believe she was confirmed as pregnant after being rescued from the house. She was certainly to the vet. She's been acting like she's in heat since what we guess is about week 6. I was worried about false pregnancy for a while, but I am pretty sure I feel babies sometimes. Little hard lumps...

    Is this labour? Is she too skinny?

    Thanks so much! Still no kittens, but she seems to be having a little bit bigger contractions. Sometimes she still walks around like normal... actually, sort of like she's in heat.

    Is this labour? Is she too skinny?

    Hi everyone, I'm fostering a pretty little grey tabby named Lexi who is a rescue from a hoarding situation. She seems pregnant, and more than that, seems to have gone into early labour, but I'm such a worry wart. She's restless as anything, calling and trilling at me, acting like she's in heat...
