vet says it’s purring and it’s apparently normal since she is a nursing mom. i don’t know how true that is. the vet i went to seemed kind of annoyed.. i really want a second opinion from a more equipped vet but my parents would instantly dismiss me. the doctor said my cat had a fever (39.9 degree celsius), the vet says it’s because my cat stressed about the whole appointment. my cat had no signs of infection in the uterus. i was advised to take her temperature 3 hours later and i got a reading of 39.2 celsius. not sure if it’s accurate because it’s my first time checking a cat’s rectal temp.Your cat’s breathing does not sound normal to me. It sounds like snuffling through a clogged nose, so perhaps she has an upper respiratory infection? Antibiotics would cure it. If not — a deviated septum?
I’m with you in thinking a vet visit is needed. Let us know what the vet says.
Are the kittens gaining weight daily?

about the kittens, i weighed them this morning around 7:00 am. my vet appointment was 10:30 am and we got home by 12:00ish. i immediately placed them inside the tent to nurse. i weighed them at 3:00pm, kitten #1 was 197.1 grams this morning and was 194.9 grams at 3pm.
10:36pm (now)
kitten #1 is currently 196.2. he only gained 3 grams in 24 hours.
kitten #2 is currently 205.8. he gained 10.3 grams in 24 hours.
kitten #3 is currently 175.2. he only gained 1.4 grams in 24 hours.
im abit worried about these numbers..i’m also worried that momma cat might not be producing enough milk.they are currently nursing as i’m typing this. nvm they stopped suckling after 7 minutes
