Hello again ladies! It's been about a year and a while since I've been around the boards. I first wrote about a stray named Stumpy that we had who gave birth. Well, now we have Quindim. Quindim is my favorite girl in the world. She came to us about a month 1/2 ago, I presume someone dropped her at our doorstep because they know that C & I take in stray animals, fix them up and get them to good homes. Well, she's well and truly pregnant. When this is over she will be spayed. She's a keeper and I don't want to help add to the world of unwanted animals.
This is the thing, the past 12 hours have been nerve-wracking. For me. LOL I think about 4 this morning, her mucous plug came out. For the past 2 days she's been alternating between pacing the floor, sleeping nearly on top of me, licking herself continuously and hanging out in the kitchen. I think time is drawing near for the littles to make an appearance. I'm not sure that I need any advice, I'm just anxious, possibly more so than she, that they are OK and healthy. As we live in Brazil, good vets are few and far between. This is why there are so many strays on the streets down here. I have a contact as an emergency vet, but nothing for regular. It's just not available where we are. When she is spayed, we are taking her to another city to have it done.
So, any advice how to be less stressed out? She's happy, she's not in pain, I'm thinking that the contractions, if they are starting, are far apart. I think I just need to be around other people who have been there and went through the experience of the waiting game.
Thanks for reading.
