Wednesday, January 16, 2008 Complications. Posted in Breeding Cats One of our queens was due wed 16th - over weekend she was spotting & I rang a vet - who said it wasn't urgent as she was happy & eating. Monday am I took her to the vets , she had a scan & the vets weren't too sure which was the best plan - but decided on an elective cesarean. They made the right call as a kitten had died & had caused her uterus to be infected. She was also then spayed due to this. I was present through the surgery which was quite an experience - totally different than having normal labors at home here. We were able to gt the kittens to feed & have colostrum. Her litter sister has 6 day old kittens & this queen took out of the nest the newborns & brought into hers. She is now caring for all the kittens. • Post A Comment! • Send to a Friend!

Your cat and kittens are as adorable as usual! Cheers, Cate (we finally have an overcast day here in Auckland!) • Permanent Link
