Oh thank goodness! how odd! not the typical story of a cat pregnancy I've heard! Just when I thought the wait was over for these babies, we have five and now we are going to have a wait till this one or two little ones are born! how long should I wait for her to give birth to it before seeking a...
She does groom them, and i've seen poops here and there. but I'll do it just incase. Can't hurt. And yes, tummy down, head up and let them suck and don't do it when crying as they'll aspirate.
but of an EMERGENCY though.
mum keeps getting out the next to lay next to it, which okay, fine she may...
Ah, fabulous! thank you, I started supplementing as i assumed that would be the port of call and idn' want to wait around for a response. Thank you, for confirming i'm doing the right thin! so far he has had 1ml every two hours. and whilst i was there i substituted the other low gaining tabby...
EMERGENCY?
So, I've weighed them this morning (10:30 am was born yesterday at (1:20pm) I know it wasn't exactly 24hours but I was worried about that one tabby, and it seems i was right.
weights today are
black and white = 110g (a whopping +13g)
Ginger and white = 102g (again a whopping +10g)...
Ah, fabulous! I know it'll put my mind at rest because I do worry about the little guy! I image he or she will be the runt, though by the weights they were born with, no runts in particular which is good!
So because mum is a tabby, are the three tabbies most likely girls?
Plus, what flea...
Wouldn't it be safe for mum licking them? Nail polish that is. I suppose that could work though!
And yes, they are all piggies! A lot of them mins after birth started feeding and have t let go since! It's been hours and they are all still nursing away. There is one tabby I'm a little worried...
Oh she will be, she will be spayed as soon as we can. We had her booked in but she went int heat and was advised to wait till after, and our luck.... she caught!
Will make sure to weight daily, though I don't know how we will decifer between the three tabbies, they are literally identical...
Okay, so I hunk she has finished! We have 5 beautiful babies. Their weights are;
Black and white 97g
Ginger and white 92g
Tabby one 102g
Tabby 2 103g
Tabby 3 102g
I need a way to identify the three tabbies!
Okay, emergency.
Birthed one (on the living room floor, middle of the room no less), no placenta but birthed the second one within 15mins? There is a lot of blood, but I don't know how much is too much and I'm concerned over he placenta issue.
Still no babies, as of yet. but tonight she has been awful strange. we have scatter cushions on our sofa, now she is almost never on the sofa to start with but she dug under them and was just laying there under a pile of cushions, I'm assuming she is trying to nest? she also seems to be getting...
I think we may be in labour! She has been doing a very high pitched meow pretty much constantly since about 6pm (it's now 8:30pm here in UK)! It's a meow I haven't heard before, and she keeps going to her little but only doing a dribble so I am assuming the pressure is confusing her! She is huge!
Oh my goodness, what a big momma cat you had! Thank you for the advice, I've screenshoted it all so it's close to hand.
We are still here, plodding on! She's even bigger, of that was at all possible! She can't be far off now, we have been feeling babies move for a good week and a half -two...
