Poppy had kitten number 4 around 5 hours ago now, I think she still may have another one to come but I can't be sure, her back legs are still trembling and every now and then she lets off a big push
Yeh all 4 kittens were breach! I have had to take her to the vets where she will stay there until kitten arrives! They have xrayed her and said there is another kitten still inside! No she hasn't eaten she isn't interested! They have given her an injection to help to deliver the kitten, hopefully that works, ok As I am unable to pay for a c section at the moment
You can perhaps set up a payment plan with the vet. Hopefully she will deliver the kitten naturally with the help of the labor-stimulating drug. They will hopefully use massage to get the kitten out as well. Is the kitten inside of her still alive?
It's my regular vets! They are really good
Yeh she is feeding them really well, vet just called to say she is a great mom and kitten number 5 has arrived with the injection, however they just did an ultrasound and yep you guessed it there is yet another kitten inside her
What an ordeal. Poor Poppy. And poor you, @poppy89
I just read that you assisted with a couple kitten births last night. So sad that one didn't make it, but this clearly is not an easy delivery. I'm glad Poppy is at the vets and that the 5th kitten has arrived. Hoping the 6th, and hopefully final, kitten arrives quickly and safely.
I'm guessing you must be totally exhausted. Hopefully once Poppy and babies are home, you will be able to get some rest. And then, yes, post some pictures.
For future reference, there are some agencies that help with vet costs at the bottom of the following article.

Glad to hear Poppy is ok and didn't have to get that c-section. Those can be hard on mom and recovery isn't all that fun either. Can't wait to see pictures!
