She's back at home. Some of the kittens were showing mild symptoms so mum and kittens all together again. From what I have heard they are doing well, though mum is refusing to eat anything other than chicken.

Poor girl- with that many hungry mouths to feed she could probably do with a bit of help. I think they're all going to be enormous!

Goodness me, what a size she got to! I bet she feels better now she has had them. When I took Eleanor (who was on foster here back in Jan) in for a c-section the vet said they very rarely see this in cats. Now two in only a matter of months! Two ladies (and their babies) who were unwanted strays and would have surely died not for intervention. Good luck to mummy and foster family :Luv2:

Our fosterer came back from leaving her just a while to go and get her OH, and she came back to find them all latched on!  I will get Angie or someone cleverer than me to post a picture!  :briggin:

Hoping mum cat accepts her kittens, it must be very confusing for her after all she has been through in the last few hours especially if it is her first litter.

I left my OH on Mum and kitten duty, so I could finish off feeding, and cleaning out my foster cats and kittens here, also on the helpline.  He rang to say they had managed to feed, and the foster Mum had to go to a hospital appt. which she had cancelled because she couldn't get a cat sitter a few days ago.

He said they had managed to feed a couple of times, and one of the kittens, who was showing signs of breathing irregularities, had picked up and improved. :)

Have just spoken to their foster Mum, and Mum cat still seems confused, and they are going to put them back onto her again in a few minutes.  The drugs will be still working their way out of her system.

When humans have a c-section they're told they can't bend or lift for 6 weeks yet poor cats are expected to get on with raising sextuplets! Hope Mum starts to perk up soon and starts showing an interest in her babies  :hug: :hug: :hug:

The vet decided that Jue was loosing weight. The kittens heart rates were slow so Jue had a Csection this morning. She has been brought home with 6 kittens, who last I'd heard she was ignoring. Will update when we can,

I suggested our foster lady talk to the vet today.  She spoke with him this afternoon, and Mum to be is going in Wednesday morning (today!) at 9.15 am.  He says this has gone on long enough!

She has eaten today, little and often, but is hiding under her blankets in her pen (den) area, which has all dark sheets all over it.

Watch this space ...............  :shify:

Her body markings are very similar to Riley's, a long lost relative perhaps?
