Whisky update, panic over


So sorry to worry you all lastnight

Finally, at 5am this morning, Whisky came back, the kittens had been left for over 7hrs

I eventually got through to a vet,
They told me that I should only hand feed if I have to, so to wait until th morning, which is why I am here now.

So panic over everyone, thanx for not thinking I'm a nit,
my girls back and the kittens seem to be doing fine

Shes home now, that the main thing,
I wont be letting her out again for a while now, can't be doing all that again,
won't be good for the kittens to leave them so long at such a young age either

Re: Whisky update, panic over


Goodness - what a night. I'm quite relieved I didn't know about this as it happened - I would have been worried for you.
Can you find any reason why she might have gone? Do you think she's not really very mumsy and the babies were 'doing her head in'? Others with more experience will be able to tell you better but maybe you should get some substitute milk/feeders in, just in case? And maybe look to wean them as early as you can? Don't take my word for that; it's just me mumbling/thinking out loud. Smudgley/other clever/experienced people will be ble to give you more advice.

Anyway - have a bit of a sleep and let us know how things are going later.

Re: Whisky update, panic over


Like the others said maybe she wanted a little bit of me time and then once outside maybe she got waylaid.
But she is back now and thats the main thing.
Like the vet said though try not to intervene with hand feeding unless absolutely necessary. You want mum to continue feeding the kittens for as long as possible.
