She got pregnant when her kittens were very young, which means that her reserves are very low. Can you start feeding her unlimited kitten dry food and several meals of wet kitten food per day? She can also drink a bowl of powdered kmr per day. PetAg is a great brand.

Mom will also need to stay 100% inside and away from intact males until her kittens have weaned. Would you like help locating a low cost spay and neuter clinic?
I keep dry kitten food out all the time, then she gets wet foot twice a day. I'll starts the kmr asap. I have found a clinic and she will be fixed soon as they say she can be.

Im also playing the waiting game. My girl has been in her birthing box and breathing faster on and off since last night.
My girl hasn't been panting or nothing, but I just noticed that her....idk the terminology, but her genital has 2 like puff balls lol, and they have separated twice as much as earlier and she has been nesting a lot all day. I hope it's soon

Winter has that too! For about 2-3 days now. Shes just going back and forth between her box and me all day. I wouldnt call it panting.. but she is breathing alot faster than normal. I also posted a thread on here a little bit ago. Was worried her labor wasnt progressing. Might be a long night for me lol

She can be fixed when the kittens are 8 weeks old. She'll just have to stay in until then. Moms can get pregnant again within a week of delivery.

The kittens from the first litter should be spayed and neutered now too.

Good job!

Thanks. They're fixed. That's how I found out she was pregnant. We went to get all 3 of them (momma and babies) fixed and they told me she was pregnant.

Sleeping a lot in her nesting areas(in her box and under my son's bed.) Then she just woke me up by meowing like crazy at my door and just keeps following me everywhere. Her tummy doesn't look as round looks low. So I think it may be the day. I hope so lol.

Ya I hope so. I have kept in touch with the vet too, and they said she's ok and the babies are as long as I feel them move and she isn't in distress. But she's gotta have them soon, she's soo big! Lol. This pic was a couple days ago.

I can't believe she still hasn't had them. She's nesting, licking her belly and private and sleeping a lot, but no labor or kitties. She looks like she dropped, but I'm not sure. And she has been kinda pacing tonight. But now she's just hanging out in her box, which is one of the placed she's been nesting in. There, under my bed, and under my son's bed. I hope she has them soon, she's as big around as a cantaloupe! Lol. She's bigger than the last time for sure. This is earlier tonight. She wouldn't hold still lol. But see how it's hanging lower, instead of out to the sides? I'm hoping she has them tonight.

I know. I've been there! She's getting there though. Poor gal - they get so uncomfortable!
