After some advice...
She’s pregnant.
My dates work out she got pregnant when she was in heat (which was also when we found out or other cat was Male! - as we were told female and never corrected by a vet until we sore them mate)
Which was the 28th of January. She was in heat for apx 6-10 days.
Which means the ‘least’ pregnant she can be, is if she got pregnant the last day she was in heat (7th feb) which is 58 days, which would make them due - 6th of April.
And the ‘most’ she can be is, if she got pregnant the first day of heat, which would make her 74 days pregnant? Which is WAY over.
So roughly working it out as the middle of her heat cycle, makes her due around now.
So, Thursday last week she was nesting, Friday last week she lost bloody discharge and was spotting, Because of this we took her to a vet. Her temp was 102f and she was fine. Eating, sleeping, seemed completely fine.
Monday she was dripping collustom from her nipples (sorry for the incorrect spelling)
We took her in Wednesday for a scan, but it stressed her out too much, and as she wasn’t showing and ‘visible’ signs of being unwell, and was rather relaxed they said they’d leave her be and see if anything happens and if not to take her back today.
Yesterday lunch time she had what looked like ‘contractions’ but this lasted about 20 minuets.
So I’ve just had a phone call.
Because the baby’s are still SUPER active, they’re not concerned.
She’s barely eaten for 2 days, and has become very restless walking around looking for a nest.
But also is sleeping a lot, (it seems to come in waves of exhaustion and hunting for a nest) they’ve said they’re still not worried and will wait until Monday to see her again unless she bleeds or becomes visibly unwell.
She has a cage set up with blankets, also has a box with blankets, and a few other hiding places she could have them.. but she’s not interested in any, and hasn’t found anywhere.
Yesturday she was following me everywhere, keeps jumping at any noise (even the kettle!)
And keeps cleaning everything except her bits!
And today she is very relaxed but also keep randomly jumping up and sprinting around the house (almost like she’s full of energy again,) and then falls back to sleep!
My vets aren’t worried, but I am!!
She doesn’t seem unwell in herself, I’m just worrying about why she hasn’t had them yet!
She’s a VERY petite kitty, so even though she doesn’t look ‘THAT’ huge to be due, she’s absolutely MASSIVE compared to usual.
Any advice?
Thankyou
