Hey there...
I have just reached a pregnant stray that was living under a tree at work for the last month...
I was originally told by a vet that she was probably only 3 weeks pregnant so was going to have her spayed but then a few days before the procedure I started feeling the kittens move in her belly soni couldn't go through with it.
It has now been 2 weeks since I felt them move... Her belly is pretty big, still movement from the kittens although that's decreased now that they've gotten bigger... From everything I've read she should pretty much be having the kittens now-ish... But I've seen no nesting behaviour, no milk, no mucus plug... Nothing to indicate she is anywhere near having them.
I wouldn't be concerned but I have to go away for work on Thursday until Monday and am worried she is going to have them while I'm gone...mainly because she seems off her food and even before then seems to only eat if I'm actually in the room with her...
When is she gonna give birth already?!
Is it bad for her and the kittens do me to put her through the stress of taking her to work with me for those 4 days?
What if she gives birth by herself when I'm away then doesn't eat cos I'm not there?
I've arranged for a friend to come each day to check on her etc but my protective mama bear instincts are kicking in.
Advice appreciated... And yes... She and the kittens are being desexed ASAP
