Pregnant Stray Possibly In Labor?

[Sarthur2]

You need to buy a can of flea house/carpet spray and spray the floors and upholstery. You also need to vacuum and wash linens in hot water. All of this will kill fleas, eggs, and larvae.

You can feed your dog and cat Brewers yeast flakes in their wet food. It won't kill the fleas but it will repel. Please remember that since she is pregnant and nursing the chemicals can be transmitted to babies. I used a flea comb dipped in mild flea shampoo when momma was pregnant and after words and pulled off dead fleas. Seemed to have worked

 

[Kitty_Kind_Of_Girl]

She has no fleas and I've combed through her and I would really hate for her to get them again and give them to the kittens

 

[Sarthur2]

You have her outside though, because you said earlier that the family you are living with does not want a cat in the house.

The house needs to be sprayed to get rid of fleas regardless.

Does the dog goes outside too?

 

[Kitty_Kind_Of_Girl]

He goes in the back yard and she stays in the front. We're getting some flea treatment for the house later today but I know if we get the fleas gone then I might have a chance for Tiny to get inside because my boyfriend's mom thinks she still has fleas.

 

[Kitty_Kind_Of_Girl]

I'm just trying to work something out so she can be inside and I know she wants to be in there and it breaks my heart to try and keep her from coming in because it's been stormy and it's going to be this weekend and even though our porch is covered there's a few rain drops that still get to where her nest is.

 

[Sarthur2]

It sounds like the backyard needs to be sprayed with flea yard spray too, if the dog has so many fleas that they are jumping around the house.

Can you bring her in your bedroom?

 

[Kitty_Kind_Of_Girl]

I can ask my boyfriend's mom if I can when she gets home from work in an hour because I know that our dog doesn't go in there.

 

[Kitty_Kind_Of_Girl]

I know it's the waiting game and I'm just a little worried because she's been showing pre labor/first stage except for contractions for the last 49 hours, is there anyway of knowing when active labor will happen or I read that calcium will start contractions so would giving her kmr start them if she's having trouble starting them?

 

[Sarthur2]

Contractions will start when her body is ready. You can give her a dish of KMR a day though. Calcium is good for pregnant and nursing cats.

 

[Kitty_Kind_Of_Girl]

I see the ammoniac sack and she's licking but she's not pushing? Is that bad or is she just waiting for another contraction?

 

[talkingpeanut]

How long has it been there?

 

[Kitty_Kind_Of_Girl]

It just broke 30 minutes ago and she's been pushing on and off for the last 56 minutes

 

[talkingpeanut]

Not good! She needs to get to a vet asap. That kitten is stuck.

How are things now? Is the kitten out, or have you been able to help her?

 

[Kitty_Kind_Of_Girl]

The kitten was born at 9:05pm est but sadly was stillborn named him Louis and Tiny is currently pushing out the next baby.

 

[Kitty_Kind_Of_Girl]

He had no fur which I find concerning, do you think they're premature?

 

[Sarthur2]

Kitty_Kind_Of_Girl

Yes, a kitten with no fur has not developed properly. He also stayed in the birth canal too long.

Is the next kitten okay?

 

[Kitty_Kind_Of_Girl]

She was okay but now she stopped breathing and I can't get it started again and #3 is on the way

 

[Sarthur2]

Rub the kitten vigorously in a towel.

I hope #3 will survive.
