She is eating Purana kitten chow and she's drinking lots of water she hasn't been using the bathroom much. And she won't let me anywhere near her or the kittens
She ran out when I opened the door. And idk today she was really aggressive hissing and she keeps trying to take one of the kittens but she leaves the rest in one spot
The kittens are about a week old now, so by my calculations, she could be in heat already. I am sure she will be back, it would be very unusual for her to abandon her kittens. It is important to keep mom inside when she returns. Cats are very quick to get out that door, as you have found out.
An hour is not much time, and the kittens are sleeping, I am certain mom will be back any time now. Like I said, nursing mom cats do not stay away from the nest for long. They fill up with milk and need the kittens to nurse after awhile. There are things you can do though, like have some powdered KMR handy, a scale to weigh the kittens, etc. for a "just in case measure" that supplementation will be needed. Don't worry, one of our experts will be along to advise, just be watching out for mom, let her in, and PLEASE do not let her out again.
I am certain the little family will be back together soon. By the way, those babies look so darling
Do you think she has mastitis or is otherwise not feeling well? If she's in heat you may want to go ahead and have her spayed now. It's not ideal, but having another litter so soon would also be awful.
She's not being aggressive for no reason, so thinking she may need a vet visit.
Well this litter she just had was like two weeks after giving birth to her first litter and her tummy and everything feels normal she just stairs at them today and doesnt want to get near them and I was just outside calling for her and she didn't come
Ok. Can you get mom spayed in the near future? Three back to back litters is really rough on her.
Have you tried playing kitten sounds?
At this point, kittens need a heat source in the nest with them. Try raw rice microwaved for 5 minutes in s sock. You also need to start feeding them. When can you get the kmr?
