Savannah Super Cat
Hy everyone, need your feedback and experiences.
My F3C queen gained a lot and I want to make sure there is no extra risk for the birth to come.
She is usually around 12,5 to 13,5 pounds, she just turned 2 last month. Second litter.
She is almost 14' at the shoulders and 15,5 at the hips.
I weighted her today at day 64, and she is at 16,2 pounds (3 times the same result). I am a bit worried of the size of the kittens to come. I don't know how many, last time she had 3 big kittens, one hour appart. The biggest was a girl at 123 gr. But what worries me is the amount of fat I can feel on herself, I am afraid the kittens are going to be fatter this time, and harder for mom.
Also, the kittens are more tight than first litter and hard to count, I see them kicking. The kittens are not low, she doesn't make the nest or rip cardboard (as she usually does). I will try not to worry as long as her appetite is good and she is herself, until day 70.
She is eating a lot of raw rabbit and beef (twice a day, already prepared), she doesn't want the chicken. She was eating EVO dry also before the recall, she is having "oven bake" grain free dry food instead. I don't restrict her. Should I give her less ??
Should I watch her very closely (every hour) ?
I had litters, but never a gain like this for a queen. Maybe weight her at the vet, but don't want to stress her for nothing serious.
