Pregnant Cat, Help Please

[JessicaLucy]

The point is she very unlikely got pregnant on the 2nd of jan, it could of been any time in the 2 weeks she was missing. Doubtfully the day we got her home as she never went out once we recieved her home after lunch. As the kittens have been visabally moving for 2.5 weeks, it’s better to get her checked over I think.

 

[JessicaLucy]

Also with the blood in the poo last night& black crust around her bum, it’s probably best to get her checked for infections x

Seeing kittens move for 3 weeks prior to labor is normal.

The vet trip may stress her out and cause her to delay her labor.

I would hope the vet would perform an x-ray before doing anything to ascertain whether the kittens are ready and if they have dropped.

 

[JessicaLucy]

Saying that she’s just starting acting very odd.

 

[JessicaLucy]

I’m sat on the kitchen floor, she’s in her box in front of me, she comes over for a stroke for about 5 minuets and then goes back to the box, and keeps doing it. Purring non stop and her eyes loook off

 

[JessicaLucy]

She keeps digging that front paw claw in too x

 

[Sarthur2]

She may be in labor. It sounds like she may be having contractions. Cats purr through the pain.

In the picture of her bottom it apoeared that she was dilating.

First stage labor can last up to 24 hours.

You will not want to be moving her to the vet during labor.

The problem is, if she isn’t in labour, she is more than likely over-due /:
I don’t know what to do now, I don’t want her to struggle /: x

 

[JessicaLucy]

Would she lay like this is labour though? She also has the most awful smelling farts

 

[JessicaLucy]

Th vet has said she isn’t in labour.
But if she hasn’t had them by Wednesday she needs an ultrasound, he’s also given her antibiotics for her diarreah x

I have some different advise, calm down! Your stress is stressing her out and could make her think it's not safe to have the kittens there. Would be a reason she wants out so much. In any animal's mind, if their human is scared, there has to be something to be scared of. They don't understand that you are afraid FOR them.
Please take some deep breaths, play soft, soothing music, get some feliway. When you feel stressed, leave her alone. Is it possible for you to keep an eye on her, from a distance? Do not crowd her. I do understand how hard it is to back off, you are worried; but, please give her some calm space. I know all you want is what's best for her and the kittens.

 

[JessicaLucy]

I’m trying to keep distance but she keeps coming to me, and the glaze look in her eyes is making me panic lol x

 

[Sarthur2]

What diarrhea med was she given?

 

[JessicaLucy]

 

[Sarthur2]

That’s a probiotic. Hopefully it will help her.

 

[JessicaLucy]

She seems very loud tonight, constant meowing and trying to rip the carpet up behind the tv unit.. /:

 

[Sarthur2]

Is she havng contractions?

 

[JessicaLucy]

I don’t know?
She’s gone to meowing ever now and again, if she’s in early labour though I wish I knew how to find out as I won’t take her for her ultrasound tomorrow morning if she is x

 

[Sarthur2]

Contractions look like ripples or waves in her sides.

 

[JessicaLucy]

Oh,no then. She’s stopped meowing now too x
