We had a cat called Misty, she came on heat and jumped from a second floor window, came back 1 week later, very skinny and pregnant.
Eventually she had a healthy litter of 4, 2 boys, 2 girls, 2 tabbys, 2 black & white. (1 of each).
Anyway we noticed on the male tabby he had excess skin where his umbilical cord was. Yesterday, at 6 weeks old, we realised it was a lump and a hernia. We took him to see the vets asap.
They said we can put him to sleep
see how he goes, but he might die
or operate but he might die
either way, it's a high chance he'll die so we brought him home to keep an eye on him. Last night he threw up a couple of times after we gave him some whiska's kitten milk. We cried a lot thinking we had to put him down as he was ill. This morning he threw up again, but after that was eating solids again and playing with his siblings and acting mostly normal.
Then he began to meow constantly for about 15 minutes, we knew he was hurting, he also made some weird coughing noises.
Currently he's asleep and has been for a few hours now, he hasn't threw up since 8am, I hope he's going to be ok.
This morning his lump was smaller than yesterday so we thought he was getting better..we're going to wait and see if when he wakes up, he meows in pain, if he does, I think we know what we have to do..:(
