Hi there,( sorry this is long, however, i want to make sure i explain the best i can )
My cat gave birth to 6 kittens last week, this is her second litter, the first litter she was completely fine, no problems, however this one was quite stressful, the first kitten was breach and his head was still inside her when she chewed the umbilical cord off so i had to step in and help her deliver it, then she was very stressed panting, meowing couldnt sit still, so we took her to the vet who said that it was because she had so much trouble delivering the first she ran out of energy, so they looked after her for the night and she had 5 more kittens.
Since she came home we set her up in the spare room, which is warm and the quietest part of the house and have been checking on her 3x a day but not interfering, just fixing litter tray, feeding her and patting her. however and here finally is my worry, as its been a week she has started panting again, her tounge hanging out, non stop meowing and has moved her kittens about 6 times. today we noticed she does not want to feed them as much as wants to go outside (which we dont want her to do as she needs to be fixed once shes finished nursing) does anyone have any ideas??
