Hi all. Just posting this because I need to have some peace of mind. I am well aware that I should have had her spayed so none of this would happen, and I was planning to, but it was too late because she's already pregnant (by her brother, I believe)
i have my 8 month old kitten thats been confirmed pregnant by her vet. I took her for a checkup because I noticed her nipples were pinkish and swollen, and I wanted to ask the vet if he could perform spay abortion in case she is pregnant. It turns out that she is pregnant, about 4 weeks, and expecting 4 kittens. The vet didnt recommend spay abort at this point because she is small (about 2kg only) and the risk of blood loss during surgery could result to collapse. He said it's better to push through with the pregnancy and just have her spayed after wards (and I will!!!!!!) he also said that having her in cs section if she couldnt push the babies out on her own would have a better outcome than a spay abort at this point.
has anybody experienced this? Right now im making sure she is comfortable and giving her kitten food, but she's in the middle of the pregnancy and has some lack of appetite here and there. Her belly is growing bigger each day, and I just hope she can deliver despite her size. I already have her vet on call in case something happens. Pls pls send me good and positive thoughts!!!! She's such a sweet kitty i really hope she pulls through
Side note: her mom is also very small so maybe thats where she got her size from
