Saturday at about noon Trixie had her babies. It took just over an hour for the 3 of them to be born. The first was an orange and white one (he/she was HUGE). The second came 20 minutes later at nearly the same size, mostly black with a couple of orange patches and some white as well. The 3rd didn't come till about 40 minutes later (she was exhausted). He/she was quite a bit smaller than the others and is black with gray stripes. I was concerned about the runt for a while but he seems to be doing well.
Yesterday morning I went to check on the kittens and found blood. I started looking for the source of the blood and realized Trixie had given birth to a 4th kitten (after nearly 24 hours with no signs of labour). This one, again, was pretty small and looked like a reverse dalmation (black with white spots). I was concerned at first but he was feeding well and rolling all over the other kittens (and they were with him too). I checked on him every hour and he was doing great, feeding and sleeping. Then I fell asleep about 4am. When I woke up, he was very nearly dead. In the time it took me to call the emergency vet, he died
The other 3 seems to be doing well. They're feeding often, sleeping lots...and gee they do a lot of somersaults LOL
