The new mom that i'm fostering is drooling? Is this a stress reaction? She has been moved around an awful lot in the past two days (but she had to be). She won't be being moved again. She also hasn't eaten anything yet and she has been here since around 10 it is 2:45 now. What do you think?

Did they say how old she is? Did you get any history on her at all?
How bad is she drooling? Have you checked her teeth? Does she have mouth ulcers? Does she eat well?

she is pretty small so and I think she is young. I have no history on her and she is REALLY drolling. I'm scared to check her mouth because I have had my own cats snap on me, and her with three new babies I don't think she is going to be too happy. I think she is really scared
I have her in a covered crate with dry food and two different kinds of wet food and catsip cat milk. I think i'm going to have dh run to wawa and get some tuna, maybe that will spark her appetite. She is nursing the babies and they all seem to be doing okay. I guess if she doesn't eat soon i'm going to be running to the kitty er

vet said not to move her and that it sounds like she is supper stressed between the move and the fact that she has babies. Vet said it is best to have a cat home before they have kittens, it will make it easier for them to adjust.

I'm feeding her food mixed with water every three hours because she still is not eating on her own. I could use tons of vibes on this one. I have to keep a close eye on her and hopefully we will be able to feed a vet that makes house calls.
