Hi all,
I just thought I would start a thread where those who have 'been there, done that' could pass along the information and experiences that have been most helpful:
I will start with a few and then perhaps others would like to offer some tips that they found particularly useful.
*** Weighing the kittens on a gram/ounce scale, at the same time, every day. IMO, this is such a great way to know how each one is doing. And you can easily spot one of the kittens lagging behind well before it causes a serious problem.
***This one is fairly obvious, but not something I really gave much thought until one of my cats had an emergency...putting my vets phone # in my cel phone address book. If you are in a hurry or panicked, it really helps to not have to search for their number.
I will add more later as I think of them. Anyone else have any tips that you found really came in handy with a pregnant cat or new litter?
