Need Help With Pregnant Cat in Labor

[jennifer29]

I really need some advice here my cat been in labor for 11 hours now and she had one of her baby's at 2:40 pm today she still has atleast 2 inside her i really need help please

If its active labor, you must contact the vets ASAP and be ready to rush in.   The first kitten may have quite some labor, but the following shall not have active labor more than 30-40 minutes - longer-call the vet.

But they can have pauses, and this is usually no big problem.

If she is resting comfortably, no problems, happy with her already delivered kitten, do observe, but you can watch and see.

If you notice any problems, contact your vet.

Please come woth reports and further questions.

Good luck!

Reba, tx for helping Jennifer.  I too asked a mod to move her tread hither.

I did gave an answer, in short:

if it is a pause, no visible problems, she can wait and see, although observe closely - the situaltion is touchy.

if it is unfruitful long labor, or almost any other problems, she must contact a vet ASAP.

She sent me a pm, I told her the very same things.

If she is distressed in any way, or if she is able to see any part of the baby but mom can't get it delivered, then call the vet ASAP.

That some time can go in between deliveries.

How is the kitten doing that she has?

It's not unusual for a cat to have a long break between kittens. Is she panting or straining to push the kittens out? If it's been 11 hours of continuous labour then you should call a vet and ask for advice. If she had one kitten and doesn't seem distressed then it's nothing to worry about.

How's the kitten doing? Did the mother clean him off and allow him to suckle?

She pm'd me saying mom is on number four Whew!
