The new babies are here ( and with a bit more difficulties than I would have expected)
I will tell the story shortly.
Mom gave birth to a dead kitten and almos inmediatly after to another one.
But she would show no interest at all on it so I kept it clean and warm for her.
This was yesterday at 8.30 am. By 17.30 there was still a kitten inside and I could see her having contractiosn from time to time.
We dediced to take her to the vet and she induce contractions but it didnt work so she had to have a cesaria done. There was only one kitten but aparently her contractions were no strong enough to push it.
Now she finally acepted the kittens but she is not acting very 'normal'
first of all she is more busy cleaning herself than looking after the babies.
She even leave them alone for long whiles so I do the job to keep them warm. What really concerns me is that the new babies dont grab any of moms niples and I know how important it is to get the first milk. So far they are only fed by me...
Is there anything I can do to make the kittens eat from moms niples?
Aparently she has milk ( or so the vet said) I feel soooooooo frustrated,...
Many thanks !!
