Near delivery time

*sigh* Oh, dear ... this was not the news we were all so hoping for. It is never, ever easy to see such a thing and I am so sorry you (and your sweet little BouBou) had to go through it. Remember to be kind to yourself and for the next couple of days, it might be good to offer your little grieving Mommy a little goat's milk and kitten food mashed up together and gently warmed. Cool compresses alternated with warm ones might help to relieve the milk pressure while it dries up. Give your little girl lots and lots of love now as she will be wanting to "find" her babies ... keep her distracted as best you can and she will be ok in a week or so. My heart is with all the others in sharing your grief.

thank you all for the support - she is asleep still - what i worry about the most is - maybe she has other dead babies inside of her which will eventually cause her death - tomorrow morning, when his office opens, im taking her to the state s vet - do you think that half a day is too long to wait?(not that i can do anything else, but i would like to be prepared)- gayef, thanx for all the advice
katie and all, i called the shelter and they said some vets will be coming in feb and staying here for a week to do the spaying - im hoping to take all the female cats i feed there, and some male ones
plz keep boubou in your thoughts

Aww I am so sorry to hear about the two babies!
Keeping fingers crossed for healthy babies and Mommy cat.

It would probably be best to have the vet check her. I think an xray would do it. Most likely she gave birth to them all, but it's hard to tell with cats since they're so guarded. Love and hugs to her and you!

Thank goodness she has you to watch over her! Iam so sorry to hear of the stillbirths and of her problems, but it sounds as if she is over the worst. A little blood is probably Ok as long as she is not obviously bleeding internally and eating and drinking etc. I hope she recovers well.

Kezia....I'm so sorry for all you have been through...but I'm glad that your girl is finally spayed. Yes...please keep an eye on her and if she continues to have problems..I would take her back to the vet.

Well done Angel!! I am so proud of you! Were the kittens still inside also deformed? I'm sorry you had to go through this but I did warn you of the problems with the contraceptive injections...

I'm glad you and mom cat are feeling better.

About the vomitting and the blood spots...just keep an eye on her for the weekend. If the episodes do not recur, I believe you're probably in the clear. The blood spots was probably discharge from the spay/abort and the vomitting probably from the effects of aneasthetics.

Again, well done! If anything else happens - give me a shout!

Aww, that poor little sweetheart.
I'm so glad that she's feeling better, and that you are too.

Did any of the 5 remaining kittens live?

I'm so sorry...it sounds like it was a very rough ordeal for you and your momma cat. I hope she feels better very soon!

Basically what I meant is that a few external spots are probably nothing to worry about, but if she starts losing bright red blood from the vagina then it is an emergency.
