Maud is pregnant

OMG She is two weeks early!!!!!!

I know of raspberry leaf - a lot of my dog breeding friends use it for their dogs due to whelp. But I use a homeopathic remedy, drops on dogs nose called Caulophyllum. Not sure if it is suitable for cats - I will phone my homeopathic man asap!!!

Sam, I have seen the kittens moving. How soon before kittening would you expect to see this?

shonedek · 13-03-2005, 03:11 AM

Kittens tend to move in the last few weeks so its hard to gauge on this,however a clear indicater is that her tummy will seem a lot lower about 2 days before birth.Its very clear and you wont miss it.Also a few hours before she may(not all do)go around calling,very soft call talking to her kittens.Good luck and any questions.Raspberry leaf is the best you can get as it tones the uterus and gives your girl a wet birth which makes it much easier for her.I wouldnt use anything else and its natural,no chemicals/additives.Not heard of Caulophyllum

Thanks Sam for all your help. I will try and get some raspberry leaf. Caulophyllum is a natural, herbal remedy from homeopathic specialists. It prepares the uterus and strengthens contractions in dogs. It is particularly useful during whelping if contractions start to lessen due to a long or difficult delivery but can be given every day one - two weeks before whelp to prepare the uterus. Once again Sam thank you for your help, I am sure I will have plenty more questions!!

Books are just a guide Sam ~ hands on approach is a lot better!
