I sure will post photos.…and when the coast is clear, your readers love photos!
I’m so glad you are running out to get kitten formula. You are doing an amazing job and so happy to hear you will also be taking in and neutering her good friend. He can be neutered any time now, and know that he needs to be kept from her for at least 2 weeks post-neuter for his sperm to die. She can go into heat and conceive any time (cats are induced ovulators), so do keep them apart for a good while, especially while she has newborns.
I’m not judging - just happy you are a good cat mommy!
SArthur advices are very good. I want to add, goats milk or even full fat yoghurt is too a working calcium source, if she takes this. And cheaper tha KMR.Thank you so much! We are definitely watching her. I hope it is just another kitten coming or placenta and nothing life threatening. When I touch her belly or press gently on it to see if feel anything else is when she has the hardest contractions. My poor girl has been through such a long journey. I just want this process to be over for her.
Yes, kittens nursing helps the contractions on. Its sometimes even used to get contractions going; setting on a kitten to nurse...I will add that the contraction movements seem to happen also when the kittens push on her stomach when nursing. I was just watching them and her. Her belly must be super tender right now.
If they, when they aren't nursing are sleeping in a pile, (more or less) and they are gaining weight, things are good.If there is anything we should be looking for in the babies to make sure they are getting proper care please feel free to share.
See if you can place it with the other two and latch on
Are you able to weigh them? Watch that one in particular.
I think yes so that it gets nutrition.Should we start trying to feed it formula
