Hi, I was asked to take in a young cat a few months ago. And I did.She appeared healthy except she possibly has the feline herpes virus. I have suspected the last week she was having a phantom pregnancy. Last nite she went into typical behavour of wanting to hide and be secluded (she got behind a memory foam mattress leaning against the wall and stayed there) and today she has appeared to be herself again. However my main reason for suspecting a phantom pregnancy was the weight she has gained and how her sides are swollen too. Not just her belly. There is no way on earth she can be pregnant she has never been out, I'm too careful with things like that, not being sure if she was neutered or not I would never let her out. I shall be getting her done within the next few weeks. However, my question is, assuming I am correct and she has been having a phantom pregnancy, how long does is take when they have come out of it, for them to lose the extra weight?
The other things the last week she was in her tray pooping incessantly. She did have a little loose tools the beginning of last week but nothing prolonged or to feel worried about. A day or so they were normal again, but she was in her tray going every two hours sometimes more. Last nite she went four times in five hours. Is that kind of normal with a pregnant queen, phantom or not? Last nite also seemed to be the culmination of what I suspect is a phantom pregnancy too so it can be hard to sort what is what.
I have a vet appt tomorrow to get her checked over, as I can tell her anal glands are leaking, not sure if that could have anything to do with her pooping a lot or not.
