As some of you know Kiara was expecting. My daughter and I have both been ill, so I haven't had a chance to post.
Kiara delivered 4 healthy babies on Sunday, March 26th. 3 boys and 1 girl. Color has begun showing up and we have 2 seal bicolor boys, 1 blue bicolor boy, and 1 blue bicolor female.
The first kitten was difficult for her to deliver, it was breech and got stuck in the birth canal, just a tail and foot out. I was able to assist her, and the baby was delivered healthy, and the other 3 were delivered healthy with no problems.
As of yesterday, day 4 for the babies, they had all doubled their weight, and doing wonderful.
Now to the real reason for my post.
I woke up this morning and Kiara seemed fine, I went to give her love, and she was really warm. I figured it was from having the babies nursing. She came out of her nest, for more love, and I felt her ears, and they were also very warm. My husband and I decided to take her temperature just to make sure, and she has 103.5. We have called the vet an hour ago, and he is busy, and is suppose to call back soon.
I thought I would post and get any feedback. From what I have read 103.5, is high, but can just signal stress, and that some vets may not see cause for concern until the temperature reaches 104. The kittens are all active, I have not taken a temperature, but they do feel a little warm to the touch.
They are eating and sucking very well. There have been no sneezes or any type of eye or nose discharge from Kiara or her babies.
Can anyone give me assurance while I sit and wait the anticipation of the vets call?
Thanks!!
