Question about mother cats, please help!?

Question

my cat had three kittens a month ago. she feeds them a lot of milk everyday, but now she eats "a lot" ( i mean she can eat 3 cans a day), and i can feel her bones every time i hold her.

what can be wrong with her, plz help.

she is about one year old, medium size.

thank you for all who answer:o)

Answer 1

3 cans a day is not enough for a still growing cat nursing 3 kittens. Get some dry kitten food and leave it out all the time in addition to the 3 cans. Worming her is also a good idea but call your vet first to see which kind of wormer he recommends.

Answer 2

What's the Vet for? Get your cat there now!!  Heart worms, worms period!! Insufficientt diet!!  Call Your Vet NOW!!!

Answer 3

It sounds like she could have worms- and that the kittens could also get worms from her.

You need to use a kitten-friendly dewormer, preferablely Drontal, on both her and the kittens.

Answer 4

raising babies is stressful.

the first few weeks, mom does not get much time to eat. at 4 weeks, they are starting to eat solid food, mom is cutting back on nursing, and mom can finally eat and put on some weight.

three cans is not a lot, assuming you mean the little cans.

a vet visit wont hurt, she could have worms.

and, make an appointment to get her spayed while you are there.
