My family took in a pregnant stray tabby about one month ago. She has adjusted perfectly with the household and found a place to have here litter.
Saturday March 23 around 8 am, she had her first kitten and then around 2-3 pm had two more and I did witness a couple sacs come out after the third. She has been very good with the kittens, cleaning, feeding and mothering. However, last night I noticed "rolling" and movement in her tummy visually as well as felt on both sides.
This morning I noticed a big red clump of tissue hanging on her vagina and believed that maybe she would continue to birth the remaining, but now it is 11:30 in the afternoon and she has removed herself from the box, used the litter box and has isolated herself away from the kittens. She is not interested in food or water.
When she was in labor the day before, she followed me everywhere and purred heavy. Now she doesn't want to be touched and has a little soft moan. Also, it appears that she is pushing very slightly.
I need input.
Could she be going into labor again?
What is the red plug?
At what time do I call a vet?
And yes, we are having her fixed as soon as possible.
Thank you in advance for your guidance.
