Soon To Be Momma Cat And A 16 Week Old Male... Should I Be Worried?

[Robyn Q]

She's good sleeping away. And I'm sitting here trying to be patient but I'm not very lol

 

[Sarthur2]

Waiting is no fun!

 

[Robyn Q]

Sassy is in labor her mucus plug came out and now she is pushing

 

[talkingpeanut]

Any kittens yet?

 

[Robyn Q]

She's trying to push her first out right now but is having a bit of difficulty idk if I should step in because idk what I'm doing and the vet is out of town on holiday so I'm worried

 

[talkingpeanut]

Yes, you need to help. Pull gently as she pushes.

 

[Robyn Q]

One baby is out but the placenta hasn't come out yet so the baby is attached to mum still.mum is cleaning it but not pushing out the placenta

 

[talkingpeanut]

Is the baby detatched yet? If not, you can go ahead and cut the cord an inch or so above the kitten's tummy. You can use clean fingernails to break the cord, even.

 

[Robyn Q]

The first placenta isn't out but I cut the cord the second baby is out and I think mum is eating something out of her vagina but has not fed the first one even yet I don't think she has milk yet

 

[Robyn Q]

I'm just trying to keep the first baby warm but it just wants to eat but idk what to do

 

[Robyn Q]

2 babies out no placentas since I had to cut the cords because they where just hanging there shoukd they slide out is there a lot of placenta of what help!

 

[talkingpeanut]

You can make a rice sock for the kittens to snuggle while mom finishes delivering. Fill a sock with uncooked rice, tie it off, and microwave for 5 minutes. Wrap in a towel and let the kittens cozy up to it.

 

[Robyn Q]

When should she get milk??? They are snuggling up to her now. But the first one got delivers at 7:11and still hasnt ate yet

 

[Robyn Q]

One placenta came out she ate it still no milk production

 

[talkingpeanut]

How is it going now?

 

[Robyn Q]

There's 3 babies so far I think she may have a bit of milk since the big black one is eating

 

[Robyn Q]

Four babies and 3 placentas out

 

[Robyn Q]

All placenta are out 4 kitties so far and four placentass
