My 10 month Ameracauna has not laid in three or four days. (This has never happened.) Today I am feeling concerned because she seems on edge and not quite right. Her tail was going up and down in that "breathing" way it does when they poo and lay, but nothing comes out. I have not done the warm bath yet because I cannot figure out how I could hold her in it for 20 minutes and keep the water as warm as it should be. I did manage to put KY jelly in and around her vent. (Nothing like doing THAT on a Sunday morning!) Her vent was opening and closing and appeared a bit swollen, but then to be honest, I'm not sure what a normal vent looks like. She's not listless like the descriptions I've read, but my sense is that something is wrong. At what point do I need to get her to a vet?
