The lighting in the pictures is strange.

You need to get her to a vet first thing in the morning if this continues. I feel like something is not right.

She may be experiencing dystocia, which is when contractions are not strong enough to push the kittens out.

She may need a c-section.

Is she still laboring and panting?

Is there any discharge?

Do you plan to spay her after this litter? She does not need to go through this again!

Vet opens at 8 and I plan to b there soon as. Yes she's still panting and now she's taking a deep breath then letting it out and returning to the panting. She feels hot to the touch so I can tell she has a fever but she did that with the last litter. No discharge yet. And yes i plan on fixing her after this. Sry about the lighting. She picked the room with low lighting unless it's daytime. And my flash is what ur seeing.

Can you go to an emergency vet tonight?

This has been going on too long.

The fever is not good. She needs medical intervention.

I hate for you to lose her or her kittens. I don't think she needs to go on this way until morning.

Sadly no. Someone else is paying for the vet cause me and my husband have hit a big financial problem. I'm trying to keep her cool and comfy. Is there anything else I can try to do to help her get more comfy till morning? It's 10 PM here.

I can't think of anything. She really should not suffer like this for the next 10 hours.

I understand a relative is paying, but it sounds like she needs help now.

I know but the nearest emergency hospital is over an hour away and the relative can't meet me till tomorrow. And I don't have even the money to put in the truck to drive over an hour so I really don't have an option. Prob not going to sleep tonight cause of this tho.

Still the same. I have a serenge so I gave her 2 drops of water on her tongue just to help cool her a tad more which she licked and swallowed. She's keeping her mouth open so I don't want her getting dehydrated too.

This is awful.

Give her more water. She needs more than 2 drops. Add some honey to the water.

I hope she makes it through the night.:(

Ok gave her more and she only took about a cc before she started fighting me. I don't wanna stress her so I'm not going to force her.

That's fine. Add honey to the water.

Is she still panting?

Can you get her to relax at all?

Yes to the panting and she stretched out and laid her head down for a little bit. I'm starting to think maybe she has so.ethi g wro g with her allergies. Shes sneezing a lot too. I forgot to mention that cause it seems minor but that may have an affect

Will do. I'll post if anything else happens during the night but she's laying on my bed again and I'm gonna take advantage of that and try to at least rest. I'm only going on 3 hrs of sleep since Friday night. I hope nothing g happens if I fall asleep.

How is she doing? I'm up all night as my new cat went into labor around 10pm and sadly appears to have rejected one kitten. I'm on 2 hour feeding duty. If I can help keep you up I'm happy to do so ;).
