I took Abbie to the vet. It is not good news. First of all, she is pregnant. Second she is a possible FIP+ kitty. The exam was first, where we decided to do x rays to confirm pregnancy. She is around 20-25 days in. No heartbeats yet (not a good sign).
We went on to give her her rabies shot and her combo test came out neg/neg. She had a fecal, (tapeworms and roundworms) showed up, she got dewormed again.
BUT the thing that scared me the most, was that the vet kept saying that with the bloating and the fact that she is sneezing and vommiting, that worries her. She did not want to test her just yet (for FIP), because whatever exposure is already done to the other cats that Abbie has been into contact with. She will be testing her on March 5th. The day Abbie will be spayed.
NOW PLEASE HEAR ME OUT! Please do NOT judge me. Do not put me down, do not say I am wrong or immoral. If you think that, please keep it to yourselves.
In my opinion, it is the best option for her. She is only 5 months old. Still a baby herself. She probably would not carry them full term, or worse, it could kill her to go into labor. A C-section, is WAY to expensive, plus the added stress on momma kitty would be alot to live through. There are millions of unwanted kittens in the world already, and they need homes as well. I just think it is best that she does not have them. Please dont think that I dont care, or that I am being quick to make decisions. The day I got her I suspected her of being pregnant. But I wanted to confirm it BEFORE I told everyone. Now that I know, it is only fair to be honest and let my friends here know.
I know that it is terrible, and that God will punish me. Please let him judge me... I really hope everyone understands. Please pray that her surgery is simple, fast, painless as possible. AND that she does not have FIP, and that none of the others do either. It would kill me to have to euthanize them. They are all still babies
