Hello everyone!! I am new to this forum but i have been reading the threads for a few days and think this is a wonderful and informative site.
I am in need of some advice and really hope you can shed some light on my question?!
I think my girl Dee Dee is in her 6th week of pregnancy roughly about 41 days i think? I'm not sure of exact dates but i kinda guestamated from when i noticed her nipples were enlarged which was 19th January. I pronounced this as her week number 3 but of course she could've 'pinked up' before this date. I phoned the vet to book an 'anntenatal' appointment lol and took her in on 29th January. The vet examined her said she was very healthy and that she thought she was about 5 weeks gone. She tried to feel how many kittens were in there but couldnt tell because "they were to soft and kitten like" but said she could feel one. Since then she has expanded in the last week but i'm sure i can feel them moving around inside? She noses in all the cupboards and the wardrobe and rumages in boxes under my bed at night. I have set up 3 kittening boxes in different places lined with newspaper and old towels and she sleeps in all three alternately after she has ruffled them all up of course!! Do you think the dates sound about right? She is very happy in herself and is eating well and sleeping alot. At the moment she still has free rein to come and go as she pleases as we live in a very quiet coldisac. When should i keep her in completely?
Sorry for the long messages!!!
