Wow guys I am seriously freaked out right now... I have dealt with a lot of foster cats giving birth but have never run into this...
I got home from work today (I actually went to the office) to find foster Irma had her kittens. One wasn't alive (
) 2 looked GREAT and then there was another who wasn't nursing, and at first glance had the WEIRDEST looking umbilical cord I had ever seen! I didn't want to bother them too much and knew nature would take it's course and figured that little one was probably not going to make it.
Well I just went to check on them and Irma let me get a closer look and it is NOT an umbilical cord, but all of his intestines are out of the hole where the umbilical cord should be! Has anyone ever seen this before? The little one is still alive, but I know he won't be for much longer.
