HELP! my cats in labour and shes has just given birth to 1! but its still attached to her is this ok?
Answers:
hi i know how horrible it is to watch my last cat gave birth in front of me as well, from what i can tell the cat will deal with it on her own more or less, you just need to help stroke her head and keep her calm, also have a towel and a cloth ready so you can help when the kittens come out becasue it comes out with a sort of rapper covering them try to clean it off as quick as you can, because i' not sure if they can breath with it on when they first come out.
hope all goes well take care
Yeah i think this is normal. You have to wait for her to deliver the placenta.
as gross as it sounds she will break the connection by chewing through it just give her time
YES.she still needs to eat that part. Why didn't you ask your vet what was going to happen before she started to give birth?!
Let nature take its coarse
maybe u should call a vet for advice but its not advisable to interfere with the kitten as the mother cat will ignore it if its held or touched.
yes! she will unattach the cord herself.and remove the sac too.just leave her to ut but keep an eve on her shud she need anymore help with delivering kittens. good luck and happy birthday to all the wee kittens!! :-) hen x
congrats..but don't worry she'll chew it off its kinda cut the umbilical cord to a real baby
just leave her alone, she will sort herself out without you interfering and fussing over her.
and your on UKQnA.com WHY?
Sounds like she hasn't expelled the placenta yet.give her a few minutes (no more than 5) and if she hasn't gotten further, call the vet. This is assuming the kitten is breathing/moving. If it's not.call the vet right now! They may not need to see her yet, but it never hurts to give them a heads-up or ask their advice. When it comes to labor difficulties, the sooner you act, the safer mom and kittens will be. That being said.with the extreme overpopulation of cats, you should really consider having her spayed.
There will probably be more coming. One kitten usually does not a litter make.
Go and look after your *****, poor thing.
it is just fine . Your cat will have the natural instints to do what is nessessery four her self and her kittens
Just make sure its nose and mouth are clear and let her do the rest.
If it stops moving and she doesnt do anything then you'll need to rub its body with your finger to get the blood moving and it should wake up. Good luck!
let nature take its course. leave the cat alone for now.
Attached to what?
The best thing to do is just leave her alone. Sometimes cats get annoyed or upset with people around them that they bite into the kitten while eating the after birth!
Be a good responsible pet owner and get her spayed, once the babies are old enough to be weened, so this doesnt happen again.. Toooooooo many unwanted kitties in this world.
She will sever the umbilical cord with her teeth. Let her do her job. And definitely let her nurse her kittens as long as she wants. It's important that she complete the whole cycle of her pregnancy and birth through the raising of her kittens. Otherwise she will suffer from hormonal urges that she can't see through.
And make sure that she is never pregnant again!
YES ITS OK . SHE WILL TAKE CARE OF CHEWING THE CORD & EATING THE BIRTH SACK. TRY NOT TO BOTHER HER TO MUCH. JUST TALK CALMLY TO HER.
Its fine, leave the cat alone.watch from a distance...she'll be fine..
yes this is normal, but if the mother doesn't break the sack open you should! Good Luck!
I think the mom will eventually cut the cord off
