I need some help fast so please read this if you can!!
My cat started suddenly giving birth and she's only pregnant for about six weeks. I don't know for sure because I saw her with a cat a few times in the beginning of June and after that she was home all the time and started showing signs of pregnancy.
I read that you can feel the little ones move at five weeks of pregnancy and I kept on touching her tummy but didn't feel anything (I had a pregnant cat before so I know what it's supposed to feel like. That cat got stolen before she gave birth though - long story.). I started getting worried but thought that I didn't get the date right so maybe it's not time for them to move yet.
Today, however, I started seeing a few spots of blood on our carpet and then I saw another spot on the floor. I was going to go to an animal hospital to get her checked but they don't work on sundays and I read somewhere that it's normal to have a bit of blood come out during pregnancy.
This evening I noticed her starting to whine a bit and then she layed down on the floor and looked like she was pushing so I quickly got a blanket out and a box. She went upstairs before anything happened and went under the bed. One moment she was licking herself and the next she moved and there was a dead kitten there.
There's supposed to be another one but she never gave birth to that one.
Right now she's laying under the bed and resting. So my question is:
Is there a chance the other kitten might survive? Is it possible for her to keep on carrying the little one until her due date, or is it a "if she started giving birth she won't stop now" sort of thing? And if she can't continue on carrying the kitten in her tummy then is there a way it can survive when she gives birth to it?
I'm really sorry if I posted in the wrong place or if this has been posted already before. I need help quickly and don't know what to do. I wasn't expecting her to have problems and now I'm lost. Thank you all in advance for any advice you can give me. I really appriciate it!
