Oh and I’m in the UK so weather not quite as lovely as Florida! In fact it’s pouring with rain today 😂

Ah thank you so much. Good to know I’m not on my own. You’ve been so incredibly supportive. I really appreciate it. It’s kept me going! Kitten put on 13g yesterday and weighed a respectable 99g this morning. The vet is happy with him which is so great. She suggested I try and top him up...

So the vet says her lungs are clear, they think the rasping is upper respiratory inflammation from the tube; they’ve taken bloods and no infection markers, kidneys and calcium levels are ok. She still has a temperature - 39.7, down from 40 yesterday. They’ve given her fluids, metacam injection...

Thank you but I’m honestly feeling so fed up and teary. I’m so tired and neither of them are feeding properly. Just tried sringing again and he won’t take it however still i try and hold him. I even feel like mum cat is asking me to do it as she knows he’s not getting enough from her but he...

Thanks for replying. You’re awake as early as I am! Ok relieved to hear that because you hear about kittens inhaling rather than swallowing. I’m just so pleased he took it after so much refusal. I haven’t weighed him yet today but will let you know. Last night he was up 7g from birth...

So my miracle nipple arrived tonight and I have just successfully given him 4 mls of milk. I over the moon as he’s really tiny and I don’t think getting much from Mum but has refused the bottle. My question is.... it says that you are in control of syringe feeding and you should drip feed one...

They did xray and saw what they thought could be abnormal foetuses but she was hugely constipated and it turned out to be poo that was stuck rather than babies. I’m so sad for her however the milk wasn’t flowing when I took her in this morning even though it had been leaking last week. Just...

I don’t have a syringe, just a bottle that came with the royal canin kitten milk - have ordered syringes but they’re not arriving until tomorrow. Should I take the kitten away from Mum to feed? will watch video too, thanks

Have tried gentle massage of bottom teats but nothing coming out. Any tips? Baby won’t really take formula and keeps trying to get Mums milk. Mum had to have c section and spay today. Only one little kitten was alive, he’s 81g. have managed a few bits of formula today when Mum was having...

So, long story short she gave birth at 5.20 this morning to one that needed help. I revived him and kept him warm. Birdie was induced and gave birth to a still born sadly and then had a c section and spay. No other babies. The little boy is doing ok but her milk isn’t coming out even though...

Ok thanks that’s reassuring. Yes of course I would do. She seems absolutely fine. Very calm and content with her sunbathing routine (inside) every afternoon continuing. Of course I would ring them straight away if she didn’t seem well it herself.

The vet said they may induce if she’s not birthing by day 70. Is that normal? I didn’t want to be induced myself, feels strange for a cat to be

I hope so! She’s been doing this for a week now!

Not as such. Just lots of licking/cleaning, sleeping, the odd meowing every now and again and eating.

Well she’s still not given birth. By my calculations she is either day 66 or 67 depending on whether she became pregnant the first or second mating. I’m worried that they may be too big to easily be born naturally the longer it goes on, like in humans but perhaps I’m over worrying?
