Pregnant Cat Help

[tartaruga amore]

oh a year old is not too bad, some naughty cats are only about 6mnths old when they start their familys

dont worry about her not eating for a day, it will give her poor tummy a rest

let us know how she is after

and i guess she is using a litter tray, and thats how you found out she is ill

oh can you keep her in otherwise you may find she is getting food from else where

i wouldnt even give her milk in the 24 hours my dog was preg a few years back and sisnt eat for 2 weeks, so for 24 hours aint gonna hurt, if u have a bad belly the last thing u want is milk,

have you got her on a kitten food yet?

[DoodleBopper]

Yeah she has kitten food pouches and dried, should I be giving her some kind of suppliments? I am not really sure where to buy any or if they even exist. I am a first time kitten mum as you can see!

[ziggy's owner]

no the kitten food will be enough, just keep to one kind thou, dont swap, she may stop eating as she gets close to the birth this is all normal, so dont worry, you need to get her a nest site ready, a box under your bed, or in a quiet room, and be prepered for her to give birth on ya bed, have you thought about worming?

[DoodleBopper]

I have put a box with some shredded magazines that she ripped up, going to put a towel in there though. it is in the dining room under a seat thing as she is in this room a lot and its where she gets fed. she rarely goes in it though.. maybe i wull put it under my parents bed she likes going under there. Will worming be harmful to the kittens? I am worried about any medicines etc while shes pregnant

[ziggy's owner]

you should do her once, i will get my book out and look it up for you, and will let u know

[DoodleBopper]

Thankyou so much!!

[ziggy's owner]

[tartaruga amore]

sorry but i would not recomend you worm her yet, please get this problem sorted out first, find out the cause of it, then worm only on your vets advice

how far along is she?

[ziggy's owner]

ermmmmmmm i'm a sqp, i can advise on worming, and worms can cause upset bellys, when was she last wormed?

i wormed my dog for 26 days in her preg every day till two days past whelp, and she had stopped eating, upset belly, the lot, and that was even under the vets advice, you need to worma pregnant queen once in her pregnancy, as this will help the kitten when born
