I know! I'm so happy.
Even more great news! Mumma had to go to the vet this morning to check on her stitches, and after telling me she had no mammory glands and would never produce milk..... her milk has come in! Completely! Kittens are feeding off her now and having a bottle every second feed
I never believed that she had no mammary glands. All pregnant cats do. Whether she gets milk is another story. Since they were C-sectioned prematurely ( which saved their lives), her milk was slow to come in. They needed supplementing in the interim, which is why I said their suckling mom at all times was good to help bring on the milk. This is a very positive outcome.
At this rate, they may well be suckling mom exclusively soon, and you can bring them all home.
Ive just gotten back from seeing them .
They have all grown so much in so little time! Full ginger is weighing in at 137 grams now ! Ginger and white 125 grams and black and white 109 grams. Im so happy. They are suckling almost exclusively now and still gaining weight. She is going to keep them for another 1 week and then I can bring them home! I'm ecstatic.
She said that because they were prem they weren't likely to gain much if any weight in those first few days so once they passed they have done amazing.
Thankyou all for your help, I really couldn't have coped without you all.
From the bottom of my heart, thankyou all so much x x your advice and support has been priceless .
I bought a bottle of wine and chocolates for her and I wish I could do the same for all of you [emoji]127867[/emoji][emoji]127863[/emoji][emoji]127851[/emoji]
Wow you really have done so much for them. How disgusting, for her old owner to want to euthanize a cat because of her irresponsibility! So glad the kittens are doing well..
They are all doing so well. The black and white one I still the smallest out of the 3 and a little more prem. The 2 gingers opened their eyes on day 13 and black and white on day 15 .
Mum is producing enough milk for them which has astounded the vets not only that all 3 lived but that she produced milk, even if it's only out of 2 nipples I couldnt have asked for more I dont think.
