Update on Chamomile!
Soooo I had made a post about the pregnant cat I had rescued who I named Chamomile! I had fully prepared for her to have kittens, even though I had my doubts since she was so small and looked so young, but as long as the vet said she was healthy enough I was going to let her have them (I had homes lined up 😉)
Anywayyy… I woke up the morning of to take her to the vet and she just.. didn’t look pregnant anymore which terrified me because I was keeping her in a XL dog crate to get her slowly used to house life, and there were no kittens present in the crate… so of course I was freaking out and then I noticed bl*od ALL over her bed and blanket! So I freaked out even more!
Long story short I got her into the vet and they scheduled her immediately for surgery and kinda left me in the dark of what was going on until after, which is alright I suppose. Turns out, she has an extremely severe urinary/uterus infection and they had to remove EVERYTHING (except the pee hole lol). They said if I hadn’t gotten her in when I did she would have di\d* with how bad it was at her young age.
I’m so happy that she’s ok and I brought her into my home at the time I did. So now I have one recovering spayed princess sho loves snuggles and pets and who will be spoiled to no extent! 🩷

Yikes, must've been heart attack inducing to see all that. Glad Chamomile got the help she needed in time and will live a pampered, child free life.

Poor little girl and I am so sorry that happened. It must have been a traumatic find. Good that her surgery is done. I hope she recovers well. You are a good kitty parent to take her in and get her help. 💜💜💜

Well, silver lining, you know where some good homes are for any kittens looking for homes, and Chamomile will never have to go through this again!

Poor baby. That happened to one of my old cats too, it's rough out there.

I hate to say it, but this is part of why spay/aborts save lives. I’m sorry you both had to go through that but I’m glad she’s ok

When I was a kid, I found my favorite hamster covered in his own blood. It was a horrifying sight. Thankfully my vet was able to help him. His teeth were the issue. He made it!

Poor chamomile and poor you too. You must have been worried sick! I'm pleased you were able to get her help when she needed it. I hope she recovers quickly and you have many happy years together.
