Hi and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Sorry to hear about Mimcha. Any abnormal behavior or sign of illness that persists, worsens or other signs develop are an indication to see your veterinarian. It's possible she has a kitten still inside of her or other problem going on. Your vet can gather a history, perform an examination and then advise you on any diagnostic tests needed. Possible tests include blood/urine tests and imaging studies such as x-rays/ultrasound. Once a diagnosis is made a sound treatment plan can be implemented. Good luck with Mimcha and happy holidays.
