Is it early on or in the late stages? Does the queen get the milk in as with a normal pregnancy shortly before they would be due?
Very curious and any advice would be appreciated, as this is something that I luckily have not experienced yet, but can understand it being so disappointing for anyone that has. C.x.  confused:  |
Like you I have had no experience of phantom pregnancies in cats
( Dogs i have had a couple)
and when the time came around for whelping the girls went down in size and did try and nurse socks and little toys lol
I found it quite sad but this only lasted for a few days and both the girls milk dried up and normality was back again
From what lizward said in her post she has had first hand experience in this with her queen, maybe she will share her knowledge of phantom pregnancies in cats with us all
