It's good you were able to help. A kitten stuck in the birth canal too long can die from lack of oxygen once the sac breaks open.
good you were there to help. The trick is to draw, slowly but consistently, together with mommas push...She start having contractions around 2 and gave birth around 4, the kitten came out tail first, I actually had to help get the kit out.
Yes, its OK to trim some. Usually the fur falls out / are licked out by momma, around the nipples. But if not so, you can trim. Good idea!Would shaving her belly fir help the kittens get to the milk? She has the thickest fur on her belly.
Where did you get mom? It is instinctual, so you may not be able to tell from her behavior.I'm beginning to think she's had kittens before. She knows exactly what to do and when to do.
Thank you for rescuing her! How long have you had her?A friend and I found her outside a restaurant, I immediately wanted her, but she wouldn't come to anyone. Then later that month, my friend and her ex caught her and they were going to keep her, but the town found out how many cats they had, the limit is 4 and they had over that amount due to getting strays, so she sent her home with me.
