quick update she seem's to have stoped ?? kitten's ain't moving around hardly and she seem's a hell of a lot smaller? she has been confined to 1 room as i know she hasn't had them as i have been awake most of the night vet's want to check on her
Every cats different, it can be hours. My girl went from no contractions but acting funny and liquid tinged with red coming out, to full labor contractions in 3 hours.
I've heard others on here that take longer than that. She had all 4 of her kittens in about 50-60 minutes.
btw ur babie's and mum are lovely bet ur real proud of her, she isn't panting all the time its an on off thing after all the trouble she had the last time i'm worried
her first litter she had a deformed 1 who was still born wasn't nice to watch then her labour stoped vet's told me to bring her in then gave her something to help bring on contraction's witch didn't work so they gave an emergancy c section 3 kitten's were alive and formed propley 2 of witch was very week and died b4 i got there to pick them up , brought the last 1 home and had to hand feed lactol as he was week and lilly's milk hadn't come in fully yet he died at 4 day's old , then she got out 2 week's later and went missing come back was 6 week's pregnant so am WORRIED
If you took out the c-section in your description that is almost exactly what happened to us. She had 5 kittens. The first 2 were small and weak. I took them to the vet and they died. They gave her oxytocin and she delivered the last 3 (the last one was deformed and stillborn). One girl I nursed hourly through the night just to find her not alive at a morning feeding. They were to weak and small to nurse. I couldn't imagine falling in love for 4 days to lose one.
The good thing is second litters do tend to be a bit better.... Heres hoping for everythign to work out!
broke my heart i couldn't talk about it for week's without crying was like lossing one of my own , in way's it's nice to hear u have been through something simillar mean's she has a good chance it will be ok this time round , but am ever so sorry to hear it had happend if u know what i mean
Yes I know what you mean. I know the devastation. The weekend after the loss I was supposed to pick up my wedding dress. It was 2 hours there and 2 hours back. I decided I should keep to my plans because I hurt so bad and needed something good to happen. I was planning on going by myself and out of the blue my dad offered to go with me. It meant a lot even though we barely talked. I just couldn't bring myself to say anything unless I would cry. It took a long time to recover.
I found wtih the birth of this litter some of those thoughts had come back. I just remember seeing the baby girl yawn (the one that didn't make it through the night) and that has stuck frozen in my memory. This litter is helping me bring closure though.
