Crazy! I brought in a pregnant stray about a week ago. Last Friday, she decided to have the kittens in my spare bedroom in the corner under the bed. So funny that our stories are almost the same.
Jasmine, as I call her, will not leave her kittens. She wouldn't eat or pee or drink water. I took her to the vet to have her checked out to see if there might be a kitten still in her or maybe the placenta. When the Vet checked her, he squeezed her and man a river of pee came out. Well, she ate right after that. Then I brought her home and put back in the kennel I have set up. A friend loaned me a huge one she had her Mastiff puppy in.
Well, she went back to not eating, drinking, or peeing. I was in a panic again. So, I went back to the vet.
They took her away from the kittens and within a few minutes she used the litter box, ate, and drank. They did this twice yesterday.
They determined she is such a good mother, she does not want to leave her kittens to take care of herself. They told me to take the kittens away for a bit when it is time to feed her.
So, I tried it when we got home. She ate and drank, but did not pee. I did it again this morning. She ate and she drank, but she has not peed since she was at the vet yesterday.
We know she CAN pee in the box. I even put a different box in there that is lower. Still nothing!
Tonight, I am going to put her in the bathroom with the box and the food and the water. She may still be smelling the kittens??
I don't know, but the girl must pee!
