HELP NEEDED ON 7 MONTH OLD KITTEN
- Thread starter nijeesh najeeb
- Start Date
The basic care is the usual: let her have extra good cat food, high in animal proteines and animal fat.
Prepare a birthing nest in some nice undisturbed room, where she can be. Dont let her out now any longer, as she will be defenceless agains straying dogs and such.
Try to read on about cats giving birth, here on this forum. Look Youtube films. Cats most often manage themselves, but sometimes is necessary with help from their owner.
Here you do have two complications:
1. she is young. Which among others, can be she will not know at once what to do with the kittens. After a while the instincts will kick in, but you must be prepared to help her and the kittens at the birth. How to take them out from the sack, how to dry them, how to sever off the cord... You should have prepared some kitten replacement milk, or goat milk (best raw goat milk).
Have also prepared a scale, weighting in grammes.
2. The second complication, is, persians tend to have a rather big head. So if her kittens are also persians, she may get a difficult birth work.
Good if you have handy your vet. You know whom to phone, and where they are...
Where do you live, is it India? So I presume the persian is the old type persian, the Shirazi persian?
These persians are easier to deliver.
Continue to report and ask questions!
Good luck!
