***UPDATE*** Smudge developed an infection in her uterus most likely from the stillborn baby. She started bleeding again and they said her uterus has to come out, but they couldnt promise that the babies would make it. Once they got the babies out (there were 2), one was stillborn - there was f***l matter in the sac and most dont survive that. The other one was barely alive and they tried to save it but it passed. Smudge is restinf comfortably and will stay the night. Shes on antibiotics for the infection and pain meds.
Thank you to everyone who shared and donated. I cant tell you how much it meant to us at Paws and Claws 4 Life. Thank you for helping save Smudges life 🐈 🐾 💕
Our rescue needs your help!! We are asking for donations for a pregnant cat who went into labor this morning. She had one stillborn kitten and was bleeding profusely. We put her in a carrier and brought her to the vet. We need donations to help pay for Smudges care. I’ve included the estimate which includes everything including an emergency C-section if  needed . When we left the vets office, they said that the bleeding had stopped that they did an ultrasound and her babies do have a heartbeat and they believe that she could deliver naturally but gave us an estimate based on worst case scenario, which includes a hospital stay and a C-section. I understand times are tough so if you can’t donate, can you please share this and pass it along if you can donate any amount is helpful please we just wanna save Smudge and her babies. Pics from her last litter, finder brought her to me very pregnant. Donations can be made to the animal hospital directly at:
