I thought I'd start a new thread since we went to the vet today. I got tired of worrying about all the things that she needed like worming and ear mite treatment and is she pregnant and how far along. So we made the trip to the vet and risked upsetting her for her health. I felt the risk was worth it. We got the FeLv/FIV test done, she was negative. We got her wormed because I was very concerned about her being pregnant and having worms since she was so flea infested I knew she had to at least have tapeworms. He wanted to give a rabies vaccine so I took his advice and let him give her that. He wasn't sure if she was pregnant at first but he eventually felt them and said that she was early pregnant and had about 4 weeks to go. Oh and he feels 3 kittens which is what I felt also. So that's why I've been so up and down with her pregnancy, she's not near ready to birth.
I'm happy that she's healthy and she's not underweight. She's been given worm medicine and we will get rid of the ear mites that are bothering her with treatment. I am hoping she will be in top condition when the babies come so that she's able to nurse well and the kittens don't develop any complications. We were all very happy that she was negative on all blood tests (it included heartworm).
So now the countdown begins for mid May!
