Hi all. I’m just looking for advice.
My cat was scheduled to be spayed and ended up pregnant before that happened. Yesterday she started going into labour and chewed a hole in my couch for that to happen. It was a very unsafe space and we had already set up a quiet room and space for her so we moved her.
We are really regretting that now and I feel so horribly guilty and awful. She stopped her labour and ended up giving birth to 4 still born babies. Our vet said there is nothing to be done and just wait for all the babies to be born and bring her in if she doesn’t pass them all. We can feel at least 2 more but no movement anymore. There was a lot of movement this morning before she started pushing.
I don’t know where to go from here.
She is scheduled to get spayed again so she doesn’t have to go through another traumatic experience.
When do I take the dead kittens away? How do I help her heal? Do cats mourn their babies? I’m just so lost.
