Marble and her pregnancy: Advice is appreciated.

[Sarthur2]

Oh, yes! Kittens can be born hours apart, or within minutes of each other.

 

[mageris]

I will be in for another long night. Nor a big deal though cuz i stay up real late anyways. Maybe it'll go faster now that he's home as well.

 

[Sarthur2]

Get some sleep if you can. She may not have them tonight. She'll probably let you know anyway.

 

[mageris]

She doesn't meow very loud at all so if she cries, i don't even know if I'll hear it. Video games and YouTube help pass the time.

 

[Sarthur2]

How's it going today?

 

[mageris]

So her breathing slowed and i don't see as much twitching so I'm not sure if what i saw last night was just pre-labor or what. It looks as though she's dropped fully though. But she's acting like her usual self and has been alittle more active today. I hope something changes by tomorrow.

 

[hteft]

That is how it is going with mine. She is still having rippling at times and is more active. Hard to be patient isn't it?

 

[Sarthur2]

She will get there eventually!

 

[mageris]

Patience is probably one of my hardest weaknesses i need to work on honestly. Oh well,nature will happen anyways, just not when I'm Around.

 

[Sarthur2]

It may be when you're around - you never know!

 

[mageris]

So there's still no change. Is it Normal for them to be in pre-labor this long?

 

[Sarthur2]

Yes, this can go for a couple of days. Is her belly rippling at all?

 

[mageris]

It's very sporadic but yes she is having them and breathing hard, not panting though. She's also been going to the bathroom very frequently but it's been normal movements.

 

[mageris]

I'm a little concerned because i haven't felt the kittens move since the day before yesterday. She's also now on day 70 too and still not any closer to actual labor.

 

[handsome kitty]

Going to the bathroom a lot is a good sign.  Her body is getting ready to deliver.

 

[Sarthur2]

What is going on with her body today? Is she having contractions? Is there any discharge? Can you tell if her vulva is dilating?

Have you called your vet to get an opinion?

 

[mageris]

We decided that if things don't change by tomorrow, we'll call and ask if she should be brought in. Then we'll most likely take her in and see about having them inducing her. My boyfriend managed to feel them move today and i felt them alittle as well But they keep changing positions from poking out on the sides to disappearing further inward.i don't really know about her vulva and her butt is always wet because she's constantly licking herself. The contractions are still small and very random.

 

[Sarthur2]

Look under her tail. The vulva is the second opening. See if you see discharge or if the opening is getting larger.

Sorry for the graphic photo but i felt this would be the best way. I myself can't tell and she won't let me get a better one either.

M mageris

Okay, I just went back through your thread.

You need to call the vet today!

Your cat is older, has seizures, and has been pregnant a long time. She dropped about four days ago and has been uncomfortable and possibly laboring on and off for several days unproductively.

Everything may be fine, but I don't think you can afford to take any chances for the sake of her health and that of her kittens.

Vets are not open all day on Saturdays, and it will cost you tons more if you end up at the emergency vet with a c-section to save her life, at which point the kittens will likely be dead.

Please take her in asap and explain everything to the vet.

I hope I'm wrong but my feeling is that something is not quite right.

I would not wait another day at all!

Please keep us updated.
