Anyone with experience with a kitten in heat?
in Pets
Our vet has had us hold off on spaying our kitten until we figure out
some of her digestive problems. (She is a chronic diarrhea kitty and
thus her serum protein levels are too low to make surgery safe.) She has
been going into some early signs of heat lately; rubbing against
things, making strange noises, etc.
Tonight we came home to find two pools of faintly pink liquid soaked into the comforter where she had been sleeping. Is this the equivalent of human menstruation? Will she continue to have "leaks"? Should we keep her confined to an area with out fabrics she can ruin? What else can we expect physically?
Please send good wishes our way that her vet appointment this week goes well enough that we can get her spayed. This is gross.

Re: Anyone with experience with a kitten in heat?
Thanks guys. This will be her third heat cycle, but her first couple were kind of pseudo-cycles . We took her to the e-vet for the first one cause we just had no idea what is wrong with her.
This really sucks. I don't know how cat breeders do it. But if we don't figure out what is wrong with her digestive system first, her blood protein levels mean she won't heal from the surgery.
And I agree re: I don't know how breeders handle it. I've had one intact queen in my life... I'd take a room full of stud males over one queen in heat ANY day.
