Thread: MC with post natal depression?

Well, we have returned from the vet together, which is something! I wasn't sure whether Bear was going to be kept in overnight, but at the moment the vet is happy for her to come home. She gave Bear some antibiotic injections and pain relief just incase, and also took some blood to be tested and we will get the results tomorrow. I still can't get her to eat anything -even treats like prawns, tuna or her fave felix

Sorry to hear about your January litter. I think it is so sad when something like that happens.

I will be keeping an eye on Bear until her appointment tomorrow, and I will let you know the outcome.

Poor Bear and poor you. It is so hard when something is wrong and they can't tell us. Hopefully if it is an infection then it will clear up quickly and she will be back to normal within a couple of days. At least you will get the blood tests back quickly though so you know more about what you are dealing with. With regards to her feeding, have you tried her on some raw? Maybe a bit of beef steak chopped up or some lamb heart? Most cats go mad for it and it is really, really good for them too.

With our January litter it was heartbreaking but we were very lucky to get 3 beautiful kittens that made it through and one of them has stayed here with us as a future breeding girl.

No matter what any breeder says, it never gets easier when you lose a kitten and you never learn to accept it either...

Hope Bear improves overnight and hopefully hear some good news tomorrow.

Oh Jo, hope Bear is ok, and that the results come back ok tomorrow, but I'm sure the vet wouldn't have sent her home if he was really worried about her. Please let us know tomorrow how she is and until then big hugs from me and Harry x

Louise, i didn't know about Star's loss, that must have been awful for you all. I don't think that anyone can get used to losing little ones. Pleased though that the three others are doing well. x

It must be sad to lose kittens....

Hugs to you both and hopefully Bear pulls through happily!

HI Jo

If you go onto this website Holistic Pet Supplies - Complementary Remedies for Dogs, Cats & Horses you can go to their cat section and look at all the different holistic remedies on there. If you look at the emotions bit I am sure you will be able to pick something up. Maybe something like bachs rescue remedy would be good if she has been through the trauma of losing babies and then a possible infection...could just help to perk her up a little

Hope the results have come back OK today

Fingers crossed for you she perks up and back to her usual self soon - so sad

Hi Everyone.

Thankyou so much for your kind messages of support, it means a lot.

Earlier on this morning I had to rush Bear back to the veterinary hospital as she collapsed when we tried to get her to walk. No matter how many times we tried to get her on her feet she just kept falling back down. This is all after last night being told that she would perk up once given the antibiotics.

I was told to expect a phone call a few hours after she had been admitted, and true to their word I received the dreaded phonecall. She has acute kidney failure and is not likely to make it through the night tonight and as I type now have just had another phone call to update me and confirm she is not responding to treatment.

I can't stop crying stupidly, yet somehow me posting this feels right as you have all been great in the short space of time that I have been on the forum.

Regards
Jo x
