We have a cat who had a tumours removal surgery a bit more than month ago.
She gave birth on 6th May (2 days ago).
We got 2 kittens in a matter of an hour, and then nothing for several hours.
Vet checked her and established there is one more kitten "stuck". So they did C section and got the kitten out successfully. That 3rd kitten is fine.
Summary:
Cat had a tumours removal surgery 1 month ago.
We got 3 kitten. 2 got out normally, 1 through C-section.
Weights:
1st day:
Kitten 1: 97g
Kitten 2: 96g
2nd day:
Kitten 1: 92g
Kitten 2: 95g
Kitten 3: 101g
3rd day:

Kitten 2: 95g
Kitten 3: 97g
Mom doesn't have much milk. She has only 4 nipples available. 2 of 4 nipples are shaved and they're not going for those 2 nipples at all, altho Vet said those 2 have the most milk.
And we're not sure if she is having enough milk.
We're trying to nurse all 3 kittens.
Kitten 1 never goes to the nipple. He doesn't suck at all. We try to help him out and position him but he doesn't go. And he is losing weight slowly.
Kitten 2 and Kitten 3 are always on nipples and fighting for it, but it seems they're not gaining weight.
