I have aone frontline spray from when Mexico was pregnant and it can be used from 3 days so ill be doing that tomorrow night. It does have a strong odour so will Mexico not want to be near them?
That makes me nervous. Please ask your vet first.
all of a sudden, she doesn't seem bothered with them. They are asleep right now, going to see if she goes to them when they cry...she laying on the floor about a foot away out of her nest
how long do I wait until intervening? Shall I not go near them until they cry and see what happens? If she ignores them do I assume she HAS rejected them and start feeding every two hours?
I handled them a few times today and she doesn't mind ny doing that buy I had to change the blanket. Since I changed the blanket she hasn't been in...
they have been asleep for almost an hour. She's back in the nest, one of them had a bit of a whine and she gave a little meow back. Anyway, she's back in the nest and I'm going to have a night up with them, not go near the nest...oh, they are feeding. Hubby just told me. I wont go near again tonight but ill check again in two hours to see if they are feeding and every two hours...never felt so anxious. When you have children (human babies), you don't feel AS anxious because YOU are holding them and feeding them and you know that they are getting what they need. When kittens come along with mama cat, there's nothing really you can do to help as you're too scared to hurt them, hurt mama cat, or make something bad happen LIKE mama cat rejecting them. I don't want to hold them again for a bit.
what do I do with the Diatomaceous earth? The sticky tape thing worked on the bedding like a dream. I'll comb Mexico and the kittens in the morning...and weigh them at the same time. Could ibkeep mama out of the room for ten minutes or would she get distressed and scratch at the door, thinking I was hurting them?
