Pregnancy cats
Pregnancy in a cat lasts for an average of 63 days. Signs of pregnancy
include enlargement of the abdomen and mammary glands (breasts).
Ultrasound can be used to detect pregnancy from 28 days and Xray
from 42 days. Most dogs will produce milk in the last week of
pregnancy and start nesting behavior several days before giving
birth. False pregnancy (pseudopregnancy) occurs in small number of cats
where they show many signs of being pregnant without having conceived. |
