I think the kitten and mom will settle in shortly, possibly once she's done delivering. Can you get a scale to weigh the kitten(s) every day? That's how you can be certain they're gaining enough.
Well done! Better safe than sorry, better do one extra precausion just if, than risk anything.
Thank you everyone and sorry for the long delay but I was at work with my fiance watching over things. Moma and baby are doing well. Still only one baby. The little one seems to have the hang of nursing now. Thanks for all of your help. Got the stuff or emergency glop if I need it and will be picking up some KMR Tuesday so I will have it on hand as I needed it with the previous litters. I will try to get a weight for the baby here soon.
Edit. Anyone ever had a kitten make a gurgling type noise while crying before? Mama went to get a drink and the little one started crying and was crying for a minute then it sounded like he was gurgling and that's when I scooped him up and gave him a few light pats on the back with his head down. His cry is normal now. This is clearly something to watch. But the little one is nice and strong and nursing well.
Edit. Got a weight of 126g
Good you have her in her own safe quarters. If the other pets arent her best friends, its mandatory to separate.yeah waiting for the time being will be calling the vet soon. But I dont think my near by vet is specilises in anything. they have no clue about cats but are pretty good with dogs. I just have no disire to be treated like an idiot if I can avoid it though its been 13 hours since the last kitten. Mama is doing fine though and resting with the first one. I moved her into my bedroom so she can relax and not have to be on guard constantly as I have other pets.
