well, i had better start by explaning how this mess started. Belle, my youngest cat is aprox 1 year old. We took her to the vets about 3 months ago and payed to have her spayed. She had her op, came home, recuperated and was allowed back out side. What really stummped me was at our last visit to the vet we were told that my firbabie is expecting!!! Now the vet we used to get her spayed wasn't my usual vet and his surgey has now been shut down because he had been having money for peocedures (sp) he was not completing, such as my belle being cut open and sewn up to look as though she had been spayed and not. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT!
Now she's only a mixed breed, nothing special and i have been taken very un-awares by this pregnancy. My usual vet has advised me to look out for when she begings to lactate as an indicator to when she is due as i do not know the exact time she was mated. I noticed today that she has begun to secreate a clear looking liquid from her teats! is this the beginning of lactation? and if so how long should it be before she has the babies?
Although this litter is unexpected and i feel very unprepared, i want to do whats best for her, but i'm having trouble finding this info out. Any advice would be appreciated
regards
