Kateland.  Was the baby alive and is nursing?  Is catmom OK, calm and contend?   If catmom is contend and happy, no problems with her as you can see,  you can wait for the next babies to come.  It is not unusual with pauses. Several hours, or even several days...

But if the mom seems in difficulties, perhaps breathing heavily, unhappy - phone a vet for advices.  The vet will know what follow up questions to give.

You must also be ready to rush her in.

If she has long or difficult delivery with second kitten, contact the vet.

Perhaps best you do already now phone a vet. Better to have a vets guidance than from a forum.

The vet knows which follow up questions to give.

continuing soon.

Please continue with reporting and questions.

I will now ask a mod to create your own thread from this your post.  You dont need to do anything, you will just get your own thread pretty soon.

Good luck!

ps.   Perhaps best your mom too registers here as participant, and continues your thread together with you?

Kateland, some links for you and your mom to look through.  Good luck!
