Q. I am trying to find a web site where i can find a week by week pregnancy calendar for a cat, can someone give me a free web site for this? Thank you and maybe a web site so i can maybe find out when she is due she got out April the 5th anyway thanks for anyone who helps
A. I don't think anyone makes a week-by-week kitten fetal development chart. At least, not online. You might be able to go to a library and find a textbook on cat and dog embryonic and fetal development. But since a cat is pregnant for about 9 weeks, each week of kitten fetal development is pretty similar to a month of human fetal development. Kittens are a little more mature when they are born, so they will develop in the womb a tad faster during the first weeks, but it should be pretty close.
A cat pregnancy is about 63-65 days long. So I'd expect your kittens to arrive around June 8, give or take a day or so.
Here's a great article on cat pregnancy and labor: http://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=A&S=0&C=0&A=1738
Add: I checked out http://www.purrinlot.com/preg.htm#preg and it's a pretty good site.

My female dog in heat was in the backyard with a not fixed male dog?
Q. So my dog is in heat. Its been around 7 days since shes been in heat. She is still dripping a little blood not a lot. I let her play with my friends dog who is not fixed. He started humping her. He was humping her for a out a hour. Do you think she could have got pregnant? Doesnt she have to be completly done with bleeding in order to get pregnant? Or is she pregnant?
A. I would definitely keep an eye on her. It wasn't very responsible of you to let your neighbors dog do that for an hour. But I do know that dogs do that as a way to prove they are the dominant dog even if it's a male and a female. Here's some info about signs to look for in your dog to indicate pregnancy:
Dog Pregnancy Primer
A female dog, correctly referred to as a bitch, can only become pregnant if she is bred during her heat cycle. The pregnancy generally lasts about 63 days from the date of the first breeding, although this period may be slightly shorter or longer. Consult LTK's Canine Pregnancy Calendar to figure out your dog's due date according to the date(s) she was bred.
Signs of Dog Pregnancy
Let's break the signs of dog pregnancy into stages.
Early Signs
* Decreased appetite is usually one of the earliest signs that your bitch might be pregnant. Not all females go through this doggie version of "morning sickness", but a small percentage will eat less during the first few weeks of gestation, usually making up for it later in the pregnancy.
* A sudden decrease in activity can indicate that your bitch is pregnant. Just like some women, canines may also experience feelings of exhaustion as their hormone levels change to support embryo production.
* Nipple growth is a good indicator that your bitch's body is going through pregnancy changes. The nipples of an unbred female are usually quite small, and the area immediately beneath them will feel flat. However, once a pregnancy is in progress, breast material will develop beneath the nipples, which will also increase slightly in preparation for eventual milk production.
* Behavioral changes may also be noticed, with either an increase in affectionate behavior or an expressed desire to be left alone.
Progressing Signs
As the pregnancy progresses, you will notice further changes.
* An increase in appetite is usually noted about three to four weeks into the pregnancy and is especially noticeable if your female slacked off her food after her heat cycle ended.
* Weight gain should be noticeable by one month into the pregnancy. The bitch's abdomen will thicken, and gentle examination of the belly will reveal a firm, rather than fat feeling to the area.
Late Term Signs
The signs of dog pregnancy will increase dramatically in the last weeks of gestation.
* A definite increase in abdomen size will be hard to miss if your bitch is carrying the average size litter for her breed. However, if there are only one or two pups, the abdomen may seem only slightly increased but still be firmer than her pre-pregnancy condition. A lot depends on the size/breed of the dog involved. Larger dogs have more room to carry pups, and if the litter is small, they won't show as much. Smaller breeds usually show more since they don't have as large an area to house the pups, and some small breeds' abdomens will literally drag the ground near the end of the pregnancy.
* Puppy movement can be felt and seen during the last weeks of pregnancy, with a definite increase in movement a few days before delivery as the pups get into position for birth.
* Milk production begins in earnest and colostrum, the first milk, can be gently expressed from the nipples, sometimes leaking a bit on its own as the time for delivery draws near.
Signs Delivery Is Imminent
* Nesting behavior is usually displayed by a bitch in the 24-48 hours proceeding delivery, although some females begin a little sooner. You'll notice a general restlessness, and she will likely prepare the area where she intends to deliver the pups by scrunching up blankets, newspapers and such.
If you haven't provided your bitch with a suitable whelping box, you're likely going to suffer some household damage, as she may decide your bed or couch cushion seems like the perfect place, and tear it up accordingly. If this happens, blame yourself, but don't punish your bitch for this perfectly normal behavior. She is simply operating on instinct.
* A temperature drop down to 97-99 degrees Fahrenheit and held for two readings taken twelve hours apart signals impending delivery within the next 24 hours.
A normal dog temperature hovers around 101-102 degrees Fahrenheit, so if you begin taking your bitch's temperature daily from about 58 days gestation, you will be able to establish her normal temperature, as well as when the drop takes place.

How much exercise should i be doing in my pregnancy?
Q. I am 29 weeks pregnant now, and before the pregnancy I used to be in my university lacrosse team, so i was doing a lot of exercise, but since i became pregnant i just lost the will to exercise loads, and got told i should only be doing 30mins twice a week, but that doesnt sound right to me? I have been walking the dog a lot, and going to start doing weekly swimming now too, but is it too late? How much should i be doing now im 29weeks? Thank you
A. Maintaining a regular exercise routine throughout your pregnancy can help you stay healthy and feel your best. Regular exercise during pregnancy can improve your posture and decrease some common discomforts such as backaches and fatigue. There is evidence that physical activity may prevent gestational diabetes (diabetes that develops during pregnancy), relieve stress, and build more stamina needed for labor and delivery.
If you were physically active before your pregnancy, you should be able to continue your activity in moderation. Don't try to exercise at your former level; instead, do what's most comfortable for you now. Low impact aerobics are encouraged versus high impact. Do not let your heart rate exceed 140 beats per minute.

The pregnant competitive athlete should be closely followed by an obstetrician.
If you have never exercised regularly before, you can safely begin an exercise program during pregnancy after consulting with your health care provider, but do not try a new, strenuous activity. Walking is considered safe to initiate when pregnant.
The American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology recommends 30 minutes or more of moderate exercise per day on most if not all days of the week, unless you have a medical or pregnancy complication

A. Rub your hand along her belly as you have probably done so many times before. The first thing you will notice is that her breasts and nipples are enlarged. Sometimes they also produce milk early in the pregnancy.
Dogs don't have sex unless the female is in heat, and usually all it takes is one exposure. That's all my little dog had, and she had one puppy. Most dogs breed at least twice during the heat--that increases the number of pups. Dog pregnancies last approximately 59 days. So mark your calendar with the dates. Good luck.
