Contractions??

Dedalus Feb 05, 2004 09:29 AM

One of my females has been pregnant for about 3 weeks now. I thought she might be egg bound so I took her to soak in warm water this morning. About a min after I put her in her whole body between her leggs began to quiver and then suck in like she was breathing deeply. I have never seen contractions in a leo before do they sound like what i just described?

Forgot to add, when I went to move her back home the eggs had shifted. When I brought her to the water she was tight across the mid section and the eggs were parrallel. When I brought her home again one egg was further down than the first and she was no longer tight across the stomach.
