Title: signs of labour
Post by: sweetness on June 24, 2007, 23:34:55 PM: hi guys its been a while but ive moved and such
anyway to get back on track i rescued a female cat aged about 8 months and straight away booked her in for the following fortnight to be spayed and lo and behold when we got there she was pregnant already so i made the decision to continue with the pregnancy and i think it nearly time she hasnt gone off her food but tonight she has a discharge from her ladie area so could this be a sign cheers guys and thankyou in anticipati

has she been making a nest? It maybe an idea to ring your vet and ask.........when did he say they were due and didnt he give any indications of the signs?

You need to make sure I think that this is not a sigh of a problem especially as she is so young.

Sorry, only just got the pm Gill.......I was online but not, if you know what I mean :tired:

I would have said the same thing, just keep an eye on things. It may be worth keeping her in a quiet room, provide her with a cardboard box with plenty of paper in the bottom, and an old towel or something on top........these can easily be thrown then, when she's given birth. Good luck, I hope everything goes well with her, xxx
