Help needed

She is breathing very fast and shallow today and doesn't move much

Any opinions on that?

Its not good.   I hope its just hot - so try to chill out where she is.

If she has other problems (sorry I dont remember your whole tread) it may even be beginning of the end.

StefanZ I assume you mean beginning of the end of pregnancy? Since no, she doesn't have any other problems

I meant the end as in dying -  IF she was weak and severely sick.  As said, I dont remember the whole tread, and Im in hurry now, dont have time to reread.

But if she was "just" pregnant and with no real problems - I assume there in Kroatia its even more hot than here in Sweden at now - so this should be she is uncomfortably hot.

Try and relieve her with that - if you have a refirgerator, you can surely make a chilling pads - as contrary to warming pads.  Let it blow on her etc - depends on what you have access to.

How far along is she? Could it be labor, or is she just hot?

Sarthur2 I really don't know how far along she is. I can feel the kittens move, I can see the kittens move, her nipples are big and pink tough I haven't seen any milk drops, only dried up skin on them. I doubt it's labor and I also doubt it's weather since it is not that warm here. This morning everything was ok but after 9 o'clock in the morning she shed a HUGE amount of hair and eaten almost nothing but few treats I have given her so I'm bit worried.

M myleia

Is she having any discharge? Do you see any ripples in her sides at all?

Where did the hair come from? Her belly?

No discharge yet.

Is there any way to guess when she is due by her nipples except by observing for milk drops. I guess I'm just too excited like everyone else excpecting the kittens

If she is dripping milk she is close, though some cats do not get milk until after the kittens are born. Otherwise, you can't tell from nipples.

How is she doing now?

Sort of better. She just ate because I was handfeeding her some briskets otherwise she was completely uninterested in food.

I'm not sure what's going on. Keep an eye on her and keep us posted.

Thank you and I will. Now I feel as if she is only a bit letargic.

Bigger with each day. StefanZ you still thini it's a small litter? [emoji]128514[/emoji]

Oh, its perhaps even a medium sized litter.  

StefanZ and how many kittens does a medium size litter count?

I was joking a little. Take your pick.

I think small to medium, when my cat delivered 7, she couldn't even lay on her side, she was so uncomfortable  and I felt so sorry for her. She looked like a basketball with toothpicks stuck in it!

di and bob I've noticed that Leia is more and more uncomfortable with each day and preferes to lay on her back which she never did. She poop and pees more and more often and I can see the kittens move even when she is standing
