She had 3 babies.
but didn't eat the placentas, I am not really sure what a nursing cat's nipple look like.
my sister's cat got 11 nipples, 4 or them are very tiny
I squeeze these nipples, no milk at all. others got few, but not too much..
so worry about these kittens..
THANK YOU BECKIBOO!!
Yes, their bellies look round.
My sister and I were hand feeding the mom, she ate 3 cans(80g) of kitten food yesterday after the kittens are born.
but today only 1.5 cans, mom cat wouldn't eat by herself, she leaves the nest every 4 hours, walking around, but not go...
my sister's cat had babies yesterday, but she didn't show much interestes in foods.
what should we do to make her eat more? when I check her breasts, they look like can't produce sufficient milk to kittens.
thanx a lot
Got my kitten spayed today.
the doctor said she's in heat, he said some cats do have blood-tinged discharge when they're in heat.
Before, I only knew female dogs'd bleeding when they're in heat.
THANKS A LOT.
I have the appointment for spaying tomorrow.
Actually, she had her first heat 3weeks ago. and these days, I found blood-tinged discharge around her genital area, I guess it's open pyometra, but she looks good, still very active, no vomiting, no depression.
Can those blood-tinged...
she was born in feburary 4th, 2006.
and she weighs about 3 pounds. she's the smallest kitten in that litter.
so, just wondering can she got spayed now?
thanx everyone.
I bought a PB persian female kitten 4 weeks ago. she was born in Feburary this year.
she was in heat about 2 weeks ago, it lasts about 4 days.
I couldn't believe a persian kitten could come into heat so early.
but here's the problem:
She had white discharge 1 week ago, and now it turns to...
we don't have male cat, only another 2 yr old female.
we got this kitten 2 weeks ago, never thought she could in heat so early...
the breeder said she's the weakest kitten , they thought she's not gonna make it, but she did.
she's a very active kitten, very playful.
I brought them to a breeder whose cat just had babies, the mom cat accepted them, made them warm and also fed them.
but when I called the breeder just now, she said all my kittens are dead, she opened their mouth, found holes in the roof of mouth. which means the kittens never sucked milk since...
I called the vet and asked if there's any shot can help my cat produce milk, but they said No.
BTW, my cat didn't eat the afterbirth, is that why? there were two placentas, but she ate nothing.
I guess all the pet store are closed now..I was trying to bottle feed kittens, but they just don't suck it.
Called 5 vets already, most of them said only bottle feeding will save kittens, but the problem is kittens don't like bottle feeding..
NO, they didn't ask me to bring the cat. they said maybe the kittens sucking cause the blood spot.
I can see my gal is worry about her babies too..but she just dosen't know what to do.
My husband just went out to buy kitten formula and feeding bottle, I am so sad this happned, but I'll try my...
I did call the vet, they said they don't have any injection which helps cat produce milk.
the only way is find another nursing cat or hand feeding.
I just don't understand how could this happned? my gal is not weak, not sick, no pain, she' always been very healthy and happy...
