I have had to learn to deal with trauma emergencies, how to medicate oral and injectibles, and I assist with spay/neuter surgeries as well as a few other emergency surgeries. I have learned way more than I wanted to know!

As far as live births I would find a movie to watch. I'm sure there are some educational films out there somewhere. You commented about your pets getting pregnant but I'm hoping that they are all spayed or neutered.
Well, I will see if the library has one. I am applying at the "pound" on Monday so I hope that goes well.

Yep, our male got our female pregnant but we got him neutered SHORTLY thereafter and she aborted. We have to get her shots before they will spay her. She got pregnant in Jan (at 5 mos!) so I am glad, for her sake, that she aborted. Besides, there are too many cats in need of good homes as it is for me to let them have kittens unless I was a breeder.
