Re: urgent advice needed

They do have quite spells, especially when birth is imminent, they all line up ready, conserving their energy for the next bit of their adventure.

If you are concerned then a vet visit is in order, but they can be over eager with the scalpel, especially as you only have someone elses say so on what day she is on.

Re: urgent advice needed

ok we have been to the vets, she has been scanned and it would seem we have 8 healthy little babies in there all hearts beating away furiously.
the vet has said she does not want to use the scalpel just yet and to leave her until thursday morning. if nothing has happened by then she will operate. i have asked if the op is neccesary if she would spay her too.
her milk is coming in but it would seem only the last two teats. she said not to worry about that as her milk will probably come in when labour starts.
she said kitty is in perfect health and not to worry. the fact that she is happy in herself is a good sign and that the previous owner has probably got her dates wrong.
she also said these were some big kittens!!!
lol poor kitty.
the surgery is provisionally booked just in case.
come on kitty get on with it!

Re: urgent advice needed

A nice sensible vet! From what you have posted Mum sounds fine and doing everything she should and her previous owner got the dates wrong. With a large litter there's plenty to get things going when the time is right. I am sure you will hear the patter of tiny paws before Thursday - fingers firmly crossed.

Re: urgent advice needed

8 kittens with a persian would be some sort of record I think!

They do sometimes get the numbers wrong on ultrasound so don't be disappointed if it's fewer than 8.

Let's hope she gets a move on tonight, this waiting must be driving you nuts!

WOW!

8!!!!!!

My friend breeds exotics (think short haired version of a persian), and her biggest litter was only 7!

Echo above post, vet sounds sensible, and has given you good advice.

Ultrasounds are notoriously wrong on numbers, so dont panic if she only has 6 or somthing lol! She may equally have 9 lol, so dont fret!

She's had her show, so things should be moving any day now xxx

Re: urgent advice needed

Hi TillysMum - thank goodness. A checkup does no harm and can avoid a potential disaster. Although, just prior to coming into the world, previously active kittens can sometimes go ominously quiet ....before they explode into an unsuspecting world

Sounds like you have a sensible vet. Lets see how long it takes.
