right now shes curled up in the fetal position and kneeding the blanket with her paws its been about an hour and i havent seen another one is she done? i dont want to leave her because i dont want her to keep giving birth to dead ones and then eating them. i've tried my vet no one is there so i have to try another one i live in the country so it takes a good long time to even get to one. i just dont know if its over or not!!

Is she passing the afterbirths? There are vets you can access online, but you need a credit card in order to call them. I am sorry, but I generally deal with orphaned kittens, even preemies, but the momcat is usually not in the picture- I do not want to give you the wrong information here. I would put her on new bedding though, to help get rid of the smell of the young ones she lost- I am so sorry-

If you want the link to the online vets let me know?

It isn't unusual for Momma cat to rest a bit between deliveries. Is she looking for the babies at all? Did she also pass the placentas with the babies? Did she eat them?

I know this is just horrible for you and please believe me when I tell you that I share your pain and horror. I know you plan on having this girl spayed, so I won't go into all of that other than to say I think it is an excellent idea.

Offer Momma some water and see if she takes it ... is she responding at all to your touch? Does she feel hot to you? Do you really feel in your gut she is sick or is she just resting? Do you have a vet ER clinic nearby you?

How is mom today? And how are you? Did you get any sleep at all?

well i got an hour of sleep and had a whole day of work. she didnt have any other kittens though, i believe that she is done. now is it possible that she delivered the dead kittens and will go into labor again for the ones who might be alive sometime later like a day or so??? is this un heard of??

Do let us know what the vet says.

My cat Sophie gave birth to her kittens last Thursday and she is still really huge. But obviousely she's not going to have any more.

Please let us know what the vet says. I have lit a bridge candle for the babies. I am sorry you had to experience this. It is not pleasant to deal with by any measure.
You have my heart, and I hope mom survives this ordeal-

I will thanks for all your support it was one of the roughest experiences i've had in a long time. I wish i could have prevented the cat from getting pregnant in the first place but i guess she still came into my life at a good time, so i could ensure she had support in love during her loss. I'm sure she will be a good cat once healed and healthy! *crosses fingers* THen will come the task of finding a home worthy of her!!! again thanks for the support you guys really helped me out

I'm so sorry you and she had to go through this...
And please let us know what happened at the vet, I'd like to know that she is okay!
I think you have done a great deal for her, and please don't feel like any of this is your fault.
