Cats are very important to take care of themselves during pregnancy, because we know that if they are not taken care of properly, it will lead to fetal miscarriage. Therefore, it is particularly important to take care of cats during pregnancy. However, how to take care of cats during pregnancy is also a knowledge that should be understood, especially in the care of cats during pregnancy, in terms of diet.
1. Pregnancy test
The appearance of a cat's pregnancy was that the color of the nipple changed from light pink to dark pink, and the hair next to the nipple would fall off, making the nipple appear particularly prominent. These symptoms should appear within 3 weeks after mating and are obviously spherical 3 to 4 weeks after conception. After this, the fetus is not so easy to touch, but it can also be touched. If necessary, you can also use ultrasound to see the fetus within 2 to 3 weeks; you can use X-ray to see the number of fetus 5 and a half weeks after pregnancy.
2. Care
The pregnancy period of cats is about 63 to 66 days, but some will last until 71 days. If you have premature birth, most of them are stillbirth or die soon after delivery. Female cats during pregnancy will need more protein and calories, but if you feed high-quality foods and balanced nutrition, you do not need to specifically change the quality of food within 2 to 3 weeks of pregnancy.
3. Nutritional high-quality proteins, such as milk products, eggs and meat, can be added to dry feed (about 10% of the amount) to increase the protein content and taste of the food, and will not destroy the balance of nutrition. The formula for milk powder used by kittens can also provide pregnant female cats and breastfeeding female cats. The portions of feeding should gradually increase as the pregnancy increases. By the end of pregnancy, the female cat should eat twice as much as before pregnancy. However, due to the growth of the fetus, it is impossible for the female cat to eat the required portions during two meals, so you must increase the number of feedings, or leave the food outside to eat freely with the female cat.
