I took Oreo in for the second vet opinion after not feeling as if she had been properly checked over from the one the day before. The second vet ended up doing an x-ray to determine pregnancy as she said it was hard to tell what the "swelling" was caused from. The x-ray showed a pretty bad infection and a fair amount of swelling. I was devastated to find out that while she was pregnant with three babies they had all died. The vet said Oreo is in serious condition and may not survive this kind of infection! She is being given IV antibiotics and fluids, however the kittens need to be delivered ASAP. The vet is going to give her 24 hours to have them naturally before doing a c- section. When I asked "why are we holding off 24 hours to do it" the vet explained the surgery will be very dangerous for her because she is in such bad body condition and has such an advanced infection. They do not know if she could survive the surgery I am so beyond devastated at this moment, we have become sooo attached to Oreo in just one short week (not even, only 5 days). While I know the world is over flowing with unwanted pets I had become excited about getting to see her have her babies and seeing them grow! Even worse is the idea of loosing her before we have even had the chance to truly love her and give her a good life Please pray for Oreo to come through this and be able to heal fully and go on to live a very long, health, happy life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I do not know what to tell my six year old, they have become inseparable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
