Okay so my cat just gave birth on the 22nd of August, she is roughly a year old and a first time mom VERY small and gave birth to a litter of 6 healthy kittens!
My first concern is that she has always been eating dry kitten food and after she gave birth she had no interest in eating she was so exhausted she just tended to her kittens and dozed off. The second day I couldn't get her to eat either so that same morning I went and bought wet canned food to tempt her into eating and it worked! Unfortunately I live in an insanely small town and cannot purchase wet kitten food because none of our "pet supplies" stores carry it (we only have Walmart kmart and tractor supply) so I got her adult cat food.
My other concern is that last night and this morning her kittens would start mewing and fussing trying to feed and my queen started meowing as well. She isn't the talkative type whatsoever and she has been keeping quiet a bit, is this normal? She also seems a little dehydrated so I gave her water in a syringe.
What can I do? Should I see a vet??
