It happened for the second time that mother cat gave birth and after a week her kitties died from an unknown reason...I'm wondering why? Do you have any idea about it or do you know any case like this?
many things could be wrong .... likely Mom has a infection that is passed to the babies that they cannot fight... THIS is a great reason to spay Mom cat NOWOriginally Posted by MysteryCat

I think slunging---though I'm not sure that's what it's called in English---means clearing the amniotic fluid from the kittens' lungs. It's kind of risky because if you do it wrong it could break their necks or something.Originally Posted by MysteryCat
I have no idea what slunging is...and she's not my cat,,

Even if she's not your cat, is there any way you can have her spayed or convince her owner to have it done? Poor thing will just keep being tortured by giving birth to kittens that will suffer and die. It's not right to allow that kind of suffering to go on.
Usually they dont make it, so pts is best for all concerned and the usual. Although if the owner REALLY wants to try like your mom, it is worth the effort. Some do make it, it isnt entirely hopeless. I had heard of successes.Originally Posted by cslenker
One of Maxi's Puppies from her one litter had a cleft palate (I think, the inside top of the mouth was open). My mom tried desperately to hand feed but it didn't make it.
