Thank you so much everyone - that has really helped - she is eating now and the bad tum seems to be a bit better - not brilliant but I believe she might actually be going in the right direction.

However.... god, I cannot believe this actually - she has now lost 2 of her kittens. I don't mean they are dead - I really cannot find them. I have been round the house 4 times looking in every conceivable location but cannot find them anywhere. I am just about to turn the house completely on it's head. She must have moved them in the night to somewhere and for the life of me it is driving me nuts!

Oh, and she has the most awful looking sore anus too and is really sore around her bottom.

I must say - I think we all know what a long bout of bad bum can make everything rather hot and bothered down there!

I am not have a good time at the moment

Well, with my one year old Pomeranian, he had a very bad tum because he was getting too much treats and we've only had him for 3 weeks, so we have had to keep changing his food around. Maybe you're feeding her a bit too much wet food which could lead to diarrohea or constipation if you are feeding her too much dry food. The sore bum may need extra tlc, such as special cream from your veterinarian It's probably from an uncomfortable birthday, through no fault of your own

Few! Found the kittens behind the TV - both still very healthy and just starting to open their eyes.

Perhaps things are looking up...

You could rub a little vaseline over the sore/red bit so it will not be so painful when she goes again.
