Is PUMPKIN Pregnant or Not Pregnant?? HELP

[Anikaca77]

Thanks, Pumpkin actually already had a litter before and then her parents tossed her outside when she was in heat so I don't know if she is pregnant or not. Pumpkin is ~1 year and 1 month old but I just don't know if she is or isn't yet.

is it ok to give worm pills on pregnant cats?too late anyway,but i'm sure it's ok,right?
I hope she isn't though...that would be a lot of homes to find.

What makes you think she might be pregnant ???

[Anikaca77]

Well she appears to be a little firm the mid section of her body. I've been doing some research but I'm not sure if I can tell if she is or not.

I'm just looking for some advice from someone who might have had a cat early on so they know the signs of a pregnant cat.....I know one time I rescued a pregnant cat (Mommy) and she I could tell because in 2 weeks she was about ready to brust well according to the vets.

One of the signs are her teats. I'm sure if she WAS pregnant, the vet would've said something (unless he's an idiot). Almost all strays have intestinal parasites, that's why the vet gave you worming medicine, and that's probably why her belly is so bloated. Check her teats. If they start becoming engorged, chances are, she's with kittens.

Thank you for taking this poor little girl in.

Would they still be a little large if she just had kittens a while ago? I'm not sure how long ago she had kittens but I know it was some time ago....

My husband seems to think she is ....it's just so hard to tell...maybe i'll just make a vet appt so she can get checked out at a different vet just to make sure if she is or isn't

Ok. First I am sorry that this is happening. Second, The vet might not have known, if she was VERY early on in pregnancy.

When I took in AbiGail, she was pregnant. I spayed her anyways, because she was only 5 months old, and I had 15 other cats to tend too.

It should be ok for her to have been dewormed. I doubt it will cause problems.

You can tell she is pregnant by a few things. Her belly getting larger, her consuming more food and water, but the only SURE way to know is to have a vet check her.

NOW with that being said... I dont know your financial situation... BUT you have to make a decision and fast on whether you will let her have them or not. If you arent, I would suggest taking her ASAP to confirm whether or not, and then set a date to have her spayed. It wont cost much more than a regular spay. Mine was about 100-150 more, BUT my vet is very high cost compared to other states it seems.

GOOD LUCK! Kt and kitties
