Pregnancy in Cats

broken image

Do you think your cat may be pregnant? If so, give your vet a call and set up an exam. Your vet can help you diagnose your cat’s pregnancy early on so that you can give your cat the appropriate treatment and care throughout the pregnancy. Most cats have a pregnancy or gestation period that lasts between 60 and 70 days depending on the cat. Signs or symptoms that may indicate pregnancy include enlarged and pink nipples and weight gain around the third week of pregnancy. A blood or urine test will not be able to confirm a pregnancy in cats. Your vet will need to physically examine the cat and palpitate the abdomen area looking or feeling for kittens. Do not try this yourself. If pregnancy is confirmed, talk to your vet Washington DC about ways to keep your cat comfortable and what to feed your cat during the pregnancy.
