Hi, I will keep this as brief as I can.
My Bengal gave birth to a kitten at 4.40am today after a stop and start labour from 10pm, kitten coming out tail first after some non productive pushing and only weighing 66g.
She had been in with the stud for a week so was due between yesterday and next Saturday (I had thought the stud owner was doing supervised matings).
Anyway. I can still feel kittens moving, I'm unsure if the placenta was passed as it was dark and I did briefly drop off through sheer exhaustion (waking up every hour last few nights) and she is breathing quite quickly, making an almost sniffing kind of noise.
The most worrying thing is there has been some fairly dark red blood, a few spots here and there where she's been laying but she did stand up about an hour ago and about 3-4 drops came out of her.
I haven't noticed any contractions and am wondering whether to stress her outand phone the out of hours vet, or just watch and wait.
Hoping someone has some advice as my previous girls had easy, fast labours so this is new and scary to me!
Thanks in advance.
