No Babies this time

[Kay]

I have just had a terrible week last week. Phoebe had a discharge but 18 hours later there was no progress so I took her to the vets just to be checked over. They said everything felt ok and gave her a jab of oxytocin to try and get things moving. 2 hours later she passed a placenta but no kitten so we rushed back to the vets. The vet examined her again and said she couldn't feel the kitten so would x-ray her. It turned out there was one kitten but the fear was that the placenta could be from that kitten so the performed a section. There was two other placentas with no kittens attached and one live baby. Unfortunately its front legs were badly deformed and we had no choice but to put him down. Phoebe has recovered now but for a few days she was busy looking for the kitten. Not a good start to the year but hopefully the next litter will be more successful. :( :( :(

I'm so very sorry Kay, must be so heartbreaking:(:(
My thoughts are with you all x

[Kay]

Thanks Luke. It is very heartbreaking but at least Phoebe is well that is the main thing.

Oh Kay, I am so sorry to hear this - what an awful week for you:(

It is very sad about the kitten but I'm pleased that Phoebe is alright ....... poor babe, it must be difficult for her to understand what has happened.

Gentle hugs to Phoebe and hugs to you too..... x

This is the side of breeding we don't really think about. What a shame.

[Jac]

[dandysmom]

Sad news, Kay; but at least Phoebe is well. (((hugs))).

[Kay]

Thank you to everyone for their kind words. Phoebe had her stitches out yesterday and the vet gave her a clean bill of health so at least everything is fine there. Hopefully Leila will have more luck. I am looking forward to the litter but I am also very apprehensive as well. Fingers crossed.

[Mags]

Glad to hear Phoebe has now recovered Kay ......... keeping my fingers crossed for you that everything goes well for Leila .... when are the kittens due?

[Kay]

I will know for defibnite in about 2 weeks that she is pregnant and they should be due on the 24th March. This will probably be Tate's last litter aslong as Cory gets the idea. At the moment he just looks at the girls as if to say'what do you want?'

[alexgirl73]

So sorry to hear that Kay. Poor Phoebe and you ((hugs)). Hope all goes well with Leila!

[Fran]

Everything crossed here Kay x

[Kay]

Will keep you all informed on Leila's progress.

[Fran]

Will keep you all informed on Leila's progress.

Looking forward to the updates Kay :D

It can be very heartbreaking but it also brings a lot of happiness and pleasure both to me while I have the babies and to the new families who I always keep in touch to see how the babies are coming along. Phoebe is fine now. It is such a shame as she is such a good mum. She adopted her sister's kitten last year and brought it up with hers as Jilly had no milk.
