Beccilou.....whenever you have a question that needs immediate advice, we do recommend contacting your local vet as someone is not always on this board who can answer your question.

Have you read this thread?

thanks for replying but i didnt ask for urgent advice i was simply asking a couple of questions.i also feel that any comments or questions i have posted have received quite negative comments back and sometimes quite snidy.so i will no longer be using this site.

Any updates? Did you check with a vet for advise on temp? I can't take temps, LOL! I can do about any thing else, give shots, cut cords assist in delivery ant other way,ect... but I don't take temps, aweful, I know!

It sounded like she could be in labor, so I wondered if there were any updates on what she is doing now, or if there were any kittens. She could have been cleaning herself to prepare for them, or it could have been so wet because a kittens water broke, if that was the case and a water had broke, there should be kittens by now. Let us know how things are going.

beccilou...your title indicated that you were asking for urgent advice: "urgent advice please bonnies in labour?" This is why I responded to you with the recommendation to contact your vet and to read over the post that Gaye put together regarding labor and delivery.

Ouch... looks like we offended somebody. I don't think anybody here meant to offend, though. I guess if you were deliberately breeding more mixed-breed kittens, or declawing a cat, or whatever, people here would get annoyed. But otherwise, I don't think we meant to offend.

Anyway, hope that birth goes OK.
