Cat Miscarried: Does she have to see a vet?

Our cat has miscarried 4 kittens very premature (fetal).  We didn't see her in process but we found the evidence.

If she is eating well and acting ok, does she have to see a vet.  SI can't really check her out well as she isn't very friendly anymore.  (She was very friendly as a kitten, but after she matured she became very moody).

She is a stray and was still visually a kitten in November?  Is it common for young cats to miscarry their first litter?

Poor thing, sounds like she is far too young to be bearing kittens. 

I would bring her in to the vet, that is me.  To check her out and, to have her spayed.  You say "first litter" and I would hope there won't be any more to come.It can really take a toll on her young body.  It's VERY important to make sure she does not get pregnant again.  

I would take her to the vet to get spayed now.

Yeah, if you are tight on money and dont really afford two vet visits running,  try to get two flyies at once.  A check up and a spaying at the same visit, if the vet agrees.

The first one, the check up NOW, is highly desirable and any advisors recommendation, even if she seems OK.  

The other visit and spaying  is practically a must, unless you by any reason are eager to populate the world with kittens, preferably with her help.

I understand you arent a breeder,   A breeder would do the vet visit  without thinking twice.

IF you do afford, the optimal is probably to visit the vet for check up, and discuss spaying.  If he thinks everything is oK and he is perfectly willing and happy to spay at once, fine.

If not, you let her rest for full recovery as long as the vet thinks is suitable, say two weeks, and take her in for spaying in two-three weeks later, when she is not in heat.

Re her being moody.   It may be in part  because of her being fertile.  It may also be, cats in pains dont have the same patience as healthy cats.  It MaY be so she has some  internal problems which hurts her causing pains.  Perhaps even something with her birthing organs,  adding to the miscarriage???

I mean, this is an additional reason for a good vet check up - and spaying.

Please continue to report and ask.

Good luck!

ps.   Here some links to find cheap spaying places.   I would guess most of them can also give a cheaper vet treatment then the average fashionable full payment vet clinic.

cheap  spaying:
If you are in the U.S. ,  the ASPCA has an online database.  http://www.aspca.org/pet-care/spayneuter

I am just agreeing with what everyone else has said.  Yes, she should see a vet, both to be checked out and to be spayed. This is an article with just a few of the reasons it is important that she be spayed http://www.thecatsite.com/a/spay-and-neuter-your-cats but the most important one to me is that if she still looks like a kitten, it is really going to take a toll on her and her body.  Next time it might not just be the kittens you lose- it could be her too.
