On Tuesday evening I got the impression Bella was in the early stages of labor. She just wanted to hang out in the closet we set up for her. When I woke up Wednesday, I went to check on her and she dashed out of the bedroom and came for treat. She was bleeding quite a bit. I called the vet and he said bring her in...immediately. She had to have a C-section and one kitten was recovered, but weak. The vet said he saw evidence that led him to believe there was a second that she must have aborted or reabsorbed. When we got home and inspected her closet another kitten was found...but sadly it had passed away. I'll never know if it was stillborn or what. :-(
Mother and child are home and baby is doing much better, though he remains nameless.
