Question
ok my cat meishanna is about 9 months old and a week ago she gave birth to 4 healthy kittens . . . mom and the kittens seem to be doing fine . .  . BUT, even since shes had the babies she has smelled so bad not as far as a bath goes but like when she uses the bathroom it stinks up the hole house and she also has terrible gas and it gets worse and worse . . . i have felt her belly several times because my sister keeps insisting that she must still have a kitten in her belly, i have had several batches of kittens before and never had my cat smell so ripe . . . but when i feel her belly all i feel are her milk sacks and nothing more no hardness  nothing . . .  do you have any idea what could be wrong (*and no i know this sounds alitlelike i joke but im being serious*) do you have any dea what it could be ??

Answer
Nikki,

It sounds as if Meishanna just has a lot of gas.  However, top be on the safe side, I would have her to the vet.  If there is something wrong inside, it needs to be sorted out immediately!!!!!  You do not want to hand raise the kittens.

Please let me know what the vet says.

Best regards... Norm.
