Update on Isis

When you lift her tail do see anything...

she cleaned the stillborn (chewed off the sac) and chewed the umbilical cord, but I don't recall anything else.

she is still having a little discharge every now and then and just a minute ago she was licking herself down there again, but I couldn't get to her in time to see if anything was there.

You might have to lift her leg while she is laying down to check..

she still has some bloody discharge,she is laying on the coffee table, no contractions, but she is closing her eyes resting but not going to sleep.

The discharge that you see now could still be some left over from the first kitten (I'm so sorry, BTW...)...they can spot for a day or two after delivery.

I am wondering if the little still born wasn't a premature kitten too. If she is to deliver the entire litter today, I would think there would be another kitten emerging by now...most cats deliver their entire litter within a 24 hour window of time.

Perhaps she'll hold off on the rest of the babies (and go full term, if the the first was premature) until next week.
In any case, if you feel like she's struggling to have the next kitten (if there truly are any more), then she needs to see a vet ASAP. A kitten could be stuck. Yes, I would go to a vet today. Have x-rays done, and see if there are other kittens, and what could have possibly happened with the still born. Does that sound like something you could do today?

I was planning on giving her until this afternoon and call the vet if she didn't have anymore. IF the vet is open today. If I have to I can take her to the vet. She seems comfortable and relaxed right now.

Let us know of any changes! Good luck! Gotta go, my kids want to bogart the computer. their only allowed to play on weekends.....I'll check in later and hope to hear really good news on Isis or Skittles...anybody heard about
the other one, I cant remember her name! I know there was one more......Oh yeah!! Pixie Dust!!! Good luck to all will check in later .........i

New update on Isis. Still no more kittens, however she is crying off and on (no signs of contractions though) and she is still nesting. Every room I go in to do something she is rooting around. I called the vet, but they were closed, so I called another vet and he was a total jerk, so I am just waiting it out.

I hope you told him he was a total jerk!
I would have, I'd have also used my favorite Chevy Chase line: Thank you very little!

Some human beings can be a total pain...sending positive energy to Isis...

I wish I could have, but it wouldn't have done any good in case of an emergency, the way he sounded he wouldn't see her any way because his first question was if she had her shots or not, and I told him no, and after that he turned jerky. I don't usually go to him because he has a bad habit of killing pets (my mom's personal and other people's experiences), I was just calling him for advice on her condition since it had been so long since she had a contraction. My usual vet is wonderful but I do not want to call the emergency number unless it is a real emergency. I am hoping it is a good sign that she is still nesting.

I knew I should have become a vet. A friend and I were talking the other day about going to school and becoming vets in our town because we only have 1 (the jerk) and being the type of vet that would see an animal regardless of income, shots, and actually care about the animals and not the money part of it.

My daughters cat, Sponge, just had babies on Wednesday. She ended up having 5. It took her a little over 8 hours to have all of them. She would have one and then sleep for a little bit. If I wasnt right there she would try to follow me around. When she started to get up and come to me when she had a kittens head hanging out of her I decided then that I needed to stay right next to her. So I would suggest you get you a drink and a snack and get comfy next to her and pet her. LOL At one timewhen Sponge was pushing a baby out she was in a lot of pain and bit me twice and then scratched me. I know that she wasnt trying to be mean, just in so much pain. So you may want to watch out if Isis starts to push a baby out.
Also I could tell when Sponge was done and when she wasnt. If you push on her sides (not hard at all, just real easy), can you feel anything hard? I could tell by doing that if she had anymore babies or not. If Isis doesnt have anymore babies by this evening I think I could call the emergency number you have to your vet just to be safe. You dont want anything to happen to her.
Good Luck with her!

I hate to be the voice of paranoia, but I lost a kitty who had two kittens, and still appeared to be pregnant. This was years ago, an outside kitty (barn cat). I had gotten my other 2 girls spayed, but let her have one more litter because she was such a good Mom. She gave birth to the two, and I never saw any problems, but she was outside, so I didn't watch her around the clock.

Two days later, she died. We lost the kittens, too.

I'm not saying your kitty is in distress, but please call the emergency number of your vet, to get his input. And then at least he will be forwarned in case she does run into trouble tonight.

Even if someone's kitty had some premature, and more later, I would not trust letting a kitty go too long. I don't know the exact time frame, but will look in the sticky's at the top of the forum to check.

She has gone this long since the first kitten, I would definitely be on the phone with the vet, or in the car headed there.

Sorry about the kitten you lost.

I agree with calling a vet, I hope Isis is okay.

I am praying for Isis.

A cat CAN die trying to give birth and not being able to - my friend's cat did!

Youre right, I'm the one who mentioned the other kitty who had preterm kittens, then more later,.....that is something to be hopeful for, but every cat is different, each situation different, so it should not be assumed that because that CAN happen, that it WILL happen. Good luck tio ISIS...
I really hope things clear up for you soon!!All my best wishes, Annie
