I'm sorry I broke this into another thread, but I wanted to make sure that anyone with advise would see it! I've been trying to look up the signs of a retained placenta. DH is not home so I cant get Willow's temperature easily. I went up to check on her and the kittens and she wasnt there, she had come down earlier for a bit (and her 3rd! can of food since delivery). She did come in while I was sitting there walking very ginger-footed and seemed reluctant to go in the box and to not want to lie down once in the box. I guess I'm not explaining this well, but just didnt seem like she did this morning. I plan on calling our vet in the morning and taking her and the kits in. Is this something I can wait on?
In case you didnt read Willow's birth story, kitten #3 was born without his sac. He kinda just plopped out. His cord was ripped. I had to tie off #3's cord cuz I noticed it bleeding. #4 was born almost 50 mintutes later, no problems. During all this, I did not notice the sac. I thought maybe it would come out with #4, maybe it did and I didnt see it. How will I know if she needs immediate help.
Sorry to be stressing every one... Just trying to be cautious. Actually Dh just got home, I'm going to go up now to take her temp. Thank you everyone so much for being here for me throughout this whole thing!
