Hi all,
My Shenzi is acting wierd tonight. I noticed that she was probably 'nesting' last night and early today...moving things around in her birthing boxes.
Then tonight around 9:30, my Dh and I went into my bedroom (where she is) and she jumped up on the bed...I petted her a little and then she walked over to the other side of the bed and crouched...My DH said, "Maybe she needs help getting down?" So, I go over and go to pick her up and she wouldn't move...then she starts peeing. So I pick her up when she is done and move her to her box...and she walked out of it, but her walk was really weird, like crouching...in her hind legs. She was panting and then she relaxed and laid down and fell asleep. Ok, so I am thinking maybe early stages of labor?
Then about 1/2 hour ago, she started meowing alot (breathing hard) and pacing and then walked over to near the litter box and started clawing at the carpet and then got in the box and was digging like crazy...then she finally pooped. (normal feces)
Now she is asleep again.
I am sort of confused...is this typical of early labor? Or is she just acting strangely because she is at the end of the pregnancy and her bodily functions are more intense or something?
