I have a few questions about my pregnant cat.

[Sarthur2]

If mom is not in distress I would not worry. Cats can have after pains for a couple of days, and more kittens can be born anytime without problems - even a week later.

I hope i dont come home to any surprises lol these 4 are so perfect and unique i just love them

Congrats

The kittens look good! Glad the wait is over. Looking forward to watching them grow!

 

[amandalee]

Thanks, i dont have a scale so how would i know if they are growing well

 

[bella 2710]

Kitchen scales will work if you have some, put a tub with a blanket or tea towel in it

 

[amandalee]

Ok so she started panting.....i see one in the birth canal only part of the bubble is hanging out like just a little shes pushing and its not coming out what do i do?

 

[bella 2710]

Is it at least half way out?

 

[amandalee]

No

 

[amandalee]

I thunk maybe just the heads is out. It just finally came out idk if its alive or not

You can vigorously and carefully rub it with a towel to try to revive it.

Also you can hold it in your hands and swing it down once or twice to try and clear the airway.

I tried everything ...... I rubbbed it alot i talked to it prayed for it.....cried for him .... I deffinatly lost him....

 

[amandalee]

I was so happy when the other 4 were born and wiggly and now im so sad..... I dont know how this happened like i realize he was bigger than the rest by alot but shouldnt that have made him stronger ?

I feel awful for you...... Sadly it happens more then you think, so try to stay positive you have four healthy babies to help look after.
The fact that that fur baby was bigger isn't always a good thing because like you just see they have a harder time coming out.
Just make sure the mum has plenty to eat & drink and keep showing her lots of love, again am heart sorry for ya.

He may have been in the birth canal too long.  They can't breathe there.  You did the best you could, pulling too soon can harm mom.  Did the placenta come out.

 

[amandalee]

Yes the placenta came out after each....she ate the first 4 and threw them uo shortly after ....i didnt let her eat the last one just in case
