The stray queen that birthed my sweet Moogie that died from FELVat 18
months old didn't live but another 6 months after her pregnancy and delivery.
Birth is very hard on them, and watching the babies you helped birth die from
FELV months after you've bonded to them is even harder on you. I
i have to agree--i've come to accept that, if they're not born, they won't be, as much as i, too, hate it. everytime i see an older cat in a shelter, i think about how, once, they were the cutest kitten in the world!--and then some human broke their promises to them. with so many cats and kittens
Caresse,
My experience with felv began with rescuing 6, 2.5 week old kittens
that had been abandoned at a s/n clinic in my neighborhood. At first I
couldn't figure out who would be so heartless as to pull little tiny
babies from their mother and dump them like that. How much trouble
could
I am in complete agreement with this. Good luck with
what you are dealing with and let us know what you
decide.

My cat just had two blood tests at the vets
office. He suggested that she get an abortion. Should we get a
second blood test which must be sent away to confirm the diagnosis? She is
already halfway through her pregnancy and it takes 7-10 days to get the test
results.
thanks, Caresse
Don'dt know - I was in that situation and I chose the abortion - had her spayed, and she came thru like a champ. It was much easier than having her go thru the birth, and having FELV kittens (if they were) and then what to do...Best of luck,GloriaOn Jun 28, 2005, at 3:36 PM, Reese J. Kiikka
If your main concern is for the mother... The stress of going full term
will
probably shorten her life... If you allow her to nurse the kittens that
will
be even more stress on her
The kittens will probable be born neg. but will probable be exposed
during
the cleaning the follows birth
