Sorry to say I have very sad news today...................the whole of Muffin's litter were stillborn, that is four kittens, two of which would have been vans. To say I am gutted is an understatement but will never be doing a repeat of that mating

oh i am so sorry, how terribly sad. hugs to you and muffin xxxxx

So sorry.....

Oh no, thats devistating

Very sorry to hear this.....I was thinking - that first bit which came out with a bit of blood - may be was a sign of aborting?
Poor girl.....She might had some infection - or - as with one of mine a sometime ago - mom was very sporty and keen on climbing and jumping?

So sorry to hear your news

I think I know exactly what has caused it.................I had decided to try line-breeding (Muffin and Splodge are half brother and sister). After doing a lot of research into their pedigrees and finding that they were faultless and extremely good quality Persians, I decided to give it a go. I could be completely on the wrong track and it could just be a problem with the mother, but it makes you wonder, doesnt it ????????????????

So very sorry saynomore. I cant imagine what you are going through.
All out thoughts are with you xxxxx


What happens now - do you have to take her to the vets for a checkup?

There doesnt seem to be any kind of infection, in fact she has cleaned herself up very nicely, even started trying to eat one of the dead babies eek: I will just keep an eye on her to make sure she stays in good general health and watching out for her ladybits showing any signs of discharge etc.

Bless her! It must be hard for them cos they cant tell you how they are feeling.

(((((hugs)))))
