Not eating much isn't a good sign.  Pregnant cats eat a lot.  Mention this to the vet as well.

The discharge in your picture does not look clear. And there could be a sac in which no kitten formed and it is getting sloughed off and that's it, but she sounds more lethargic than normal. She should be eating a lot too. I'm concerned about infection. The vet can also listen for kitten heartbeats. Just let us know what he says.

An ultrasound should only be around 40 dollars and if you're established at your vet, they might let you make payments. It's a small price for piece of mind and to ensure her safety. We went through a tragedy recently that I could have prevented if I had my cat checked so I'm glad you're getting her in.

I am relieved to hear this. What did they attribute the discharge to?

They didn't say I just asked should I be worried? They said no. My problem is I look into everything way too much and always researching the internet. And look too far into everything. But you never know. I think according to date she should maybe have them by end of next week or early the following.

If she conceived on May 29th, then her nine weeks would end on July 31st. She still has 2 and 1/2 weeks to go, and could easily deliver around the first of August. You don't want her giving birth to premature kittens. They rarely survive.

You won't always feel them move. Did the vet listen for heart beats or just palpate?

I'm glad she likes the milk. Is it KMR?

Made my father in law take ebony back to the vet she was having a lot of discharge. Whitish and than brownish dripping on white tile floor. He is there now and I'm a nervous wreck

I'm glad he took her in.  It may just be her water breaking but the brown color is troubling.  Hang in there.

Something is not right. She may be miscarrying. Vet should perform an x-ray or ultrasound.

If it is her water breaking than it way too early she has 2-3 weeks left. And her butt looks like someone dipped it in water.they are doing X-ray ultrasound and white blood cell count. And stinks it's an emergency vet which is $150 alone. I already called him to ask vet didn't go in yet. This is so sad I hope she is ok
