Chloe is doing a wonderful job...
and so are you.

 

[chloe16]

How do I know shes got no more to deliver? Her belly is still big. Shes not having any contractions, shes sleeping and purring. Her last one was at 6:30ish..its not 9:15pm

 

[xocats]

I don't know how you tell if she is done...
maybe you should post in the other thread about this.

My guess is that she is doing well, just stand by, don't disturb her to much and wait.

Awww! 2 little tabbies so far. How cute. The average cat litter is 4, but of course that doesn't mean every cat has that many. It can be a few hours between kittens sometimes. If she goes into active labor (pushing and straining, etc.) and no kitten within a half hour, that's when you have to call the vet. But as long as she doesn't seem to be in distress everything should be fine.

When they're all born and dried off and everything, you can post pics of their back ends and somebody should be able to tell you how many boys and girls you have

Good cause I am clueless on sexing cats. I just noticed she was having a few contractions...so I am expecting a third soon.

What cuties!! Great job!

You really shouldn't have posted pictures, because even seeing them all gooey and gross, I want one!

 

[chloe16]

We have a third, pics to follow shortly

Kitten Number Three

 

[chloe16]

She just had a fourth..will grab a pic when shes done cleaning it.

 

[chloe16]

Question, here is a pic of what is stuck. Came out half way after the last kitten and she is trying to push it out but the rest will not come out. What do I do and is it a placenta?



An here is the Fourth Kitten

 

[chloe16]

Here is a better picture of what is stuck half out of her.

 

[Willowy]

Ew, that doesn't look good. It's been more than a half hour now. . .has she managed to pass it? If not, it's time to call the vet, I think.

It looks like the last kitty is pure black! No red kitten yet. . .

 

[chloe16]

No she hasnt passed it w/e it is, its wrapped in a tough outer layer

 

[Willowy]

Is she still straining? Have you tried giving it a VERY gentle tug (veryvery gentle; you don't want to rupture anything) to see if it moves at all? Like I said, I've only ever had the one birthing personally, so I don't have any experience here. I wonder if you make a thread in the breeders sub-forum, if an experienced breeder would see it or if they all went to bed already. Maybe if you call the emergency clinic and explain what's happening, they'll have some advice.

The experience I have with birthing cats and dogs, I have never seen that... I think it is time to take her to the vet...

 

[c1atsite]

Since it has a tough outter layer, then it might be part of the mommy!!

I'd be scared to tug on it.

I saw something on fabcats.org about "uterine prolapse" but I don't want to diagnose since I'm not a vet. http://www.fabcats.org/breeders/info...rturition.html

 

[missymotus]

The photos won't load for me, but the coloured discharge mentioned in the other thread is concerning usually it's clear and coloured means death/infection.

She may have prolapsed, could be a dead or mummified kitten

I hope you have at least called the vet by now.

 

[chloe16]

Dont worry I am dealing with it.
