Hi everyone, I am brand new here and have a question.
A stray cat that adopted our porch as it's home 3 months ago just gave birth to three kittens two days ago. She looked like she was going to have at least 6, but only the three.
Everything was fine yesterday, but today she is all wet again like she was before she had the first kitten. Is it possible that she has retained a kitten, and is now having it? From everything I've read, this is dangerous.
Also, she seems thinner today then she did yesterday. She was still a bit swollen looking and feeling yesterday, but today she almost looks gaunt and malnourished.
One more thing, today, she hasn't been in feeding the kittens very much, she has been out and about, and she is very lethargic and lazy. She was eating good yesterday, and is drinking today, but I have not seen her eat today.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Lena.
