Yahoo Answer(s)im a lactating mother and now maintaining my diet by taking balanced nutritional diet. people tells its always nice to have whole grains, in the sense im taking whole wheat bread and 1 fried egg as breakfast. is it good & can i take cheese with that? if not what else can i have with my sandwich? can u give me suggestions pls! thank u
i mean not to gain over weight & getting fat belly. so that i can be slim and healthy tooAnswer: veggies, eggs, whole grains..these are all great things to be eating. There's nothing wrong with a little cheese on that sandwich, or some lettuce and tomato, maybe even a little mayonnaise if that's how you get down. The important thing in a balanced diet is the "balanced" part...instead of a fried egg, why not a hard boiled egg or two, with some whole grain toast and some fruit preserves? are you a vegetarian? if not, there's nothing wrong with some ham or bacon in the morning if done in moderation. When my wife was pregnant she ate like a queen without much fuss about the "healthy" foods being forced on her, and her and our son are both as healthy as they can be. I'm a chef so here's my opinion: Eat food, not too much, mostly plants. Avoid processed foods and preservatives and you'll be just fine. answers.yahoo.com
my cat is lactating but we still went ahead and gave her vaccinations. what will happen if her kitties drink her milk? Our vet only talked to my dad and he can't remember what he was told.Answer: I referred more article about cat and kitten care........ i give some of paragraph which is useful to u to care the kitten and mother cat and too answer to ur question.....
Article 1 : The threat of cerebellar hypoplasia and of abortion is why veterinarians do not vaccinate pregnant cats with the live-virus vaccines we routinely use on non-pregnant animals. Kittens under 4 weeks of age, or mother cats with kittens under 4 weeks of age, should not receive these vaccines either. If young or pregnant cats must be vaccinated (as during an outbreak in a shelter or cattery) they need to be vaccinated with a vaccine that contains only killed (attenuated) panleukopenia virus.
Article 2 : A Healthy Momcat - if you have an unspayed female who is, or who may be pregnant, it is wise to avoid giving any vaccinations. Some vaccines are generally accepted as safe for a pregnant momcat (known as a queen), but all vaccinations carry some risk of reaction, and the unborn kittens are particularly at risk for health complications from vaccines given to their mothers. It is critical to avoid giving a pregnant queen any vaccinations during the last 2-3 weeks of gestation, and to absolutely avoid Rabies vaccination while she is pregnant or nursing. While rabies vaccination is legally required in some states, there is also usually a provision for an animal to be deferred from vaccination when a veterinarian determines that such a vaccination is not in the best interests of the animal's health at that time.
and some more points for feeding the kitten.. along months...
kittens exclusively nurse for at least 4-5 weeks after birth. This means the mother is the sole source of nutrition. It is critical to feed the mother a high quality, high calorie food in unlimited quantities. Purrfect Companions strongly recommends feeding a kitten formula food, and one of the non-store brands. We have had the most success with Science Diet, Eukanuba and Royal Canin brand kitten formulas. By feeding the kitten formula to the mother, she will pass vitamins and other nutrients to the kittens, will maintain her health, and it will not be necessary to change the food when the kittens begin to eat on their own. We also recommend, if the mother cat likes canned food, feeding Friskies, Whiskas, Fancy Feast or 9 Lives canned food, in the non-fish flavors. Humans are advised not to eat fish more than 3 times a week due to mercury in fish; cats are even smaller than humans, and most pet foods are made from the fish products left over from human food processing. Many cats like the Friskies Prime Fillet, Fancy Feast Grilled and Whiskas Bits type foods. Momcats may also benefit from being offered a small amount of one of the specially formulated milk products for cats, a small amount of evaporated milk, a couple of tablespoons of plain cottage cheese, or a couple of teaspoons of plain yogurt. Remember, most cats are lactose intolerant, and milk can bring on diarrhea. This reaction occurs less frequently when using the above dairy products. Kittens should NEVER be given cow's milk or human baby formulas; they do not have the proper nutritional elements for kittens, and some may even be toxic to kittens because of their ingredients, including high dosages of iron and other minerals. answers.yahoo.com |
