Hi, my name is Meghan. I am a Siamese breeder in Florida. I have a CFA registered cattery. I am a small cattery and about to have my first litter. I have a modern blue point female who was due to give birth a few days ago. Today she is at 69 days gestation. I know that the normal gestation for a siamese is 67 days. I am concerned because her kittens are not kicking as much as they where a week ago. She is very big. The vet told me that she is going to have at least six. This was at five weeks gestation. Does anyone know if the kittens are just cramped and that is why they are not kicking.
My breeder/mentor is on vacation and the vet said to wait until the 70th day. Does anyone know any safe and natual ways to induce birth.
I have done a great amount of research on the birthing of kittens and have not found the answers to any of my questions.
I have done everything by the book, but she shows no signs of going into labor. She has the choice of three nests, and I have taken her rectal temperature every day for two weeks. As of today the rectal temerature is 102F. I know that when the temperature goes below 100F she is going to give birth in 24 hours SHe is not trying to nest at all. She is not displaying nervousness, diging, or any of the classic symptoms of going into labor.
If anyone has any suggestions to naturally induce labor to prevent a C-Section please let me know.
