Hi. I am a foster for my local rescue (about 3 years, one year off, and now I'm back at it). This is my first pregnant mama, and I'm unsure how soon she'll deliver.
Millie came in with a large injury on her neck that had abcessed and is now a sore covering her throat. With antibiotics and regulat cleaning, the injury is slowly healing, but I'm concerned that it stressed her body.
I was told that the vet said that she would probably deliver in 1-2 weeks, and her belly is huge! It looks like it doubled in size just overnight. So my questions are:
1: What are the signs I can look for to determine how soon Millie will deliver?
and
2: Do you think the work of caring for kittens slow her body's healing?
