Normal childbirth at cats lasts from 2nd to 6 hours, and usually the animal quite copes with this natural procedure independently, without the aid of the person. But in certain cases the weakness of patrimonial activity or difficult passability of patrimonial ways can be observed therefore participation of the owner or even the help of the expert can be required.
Difficult passability of patrimonial ways
If the head or legs of a kitten in a fetal bubble or without it appeared from a vagina, until the birth there have to pass no more than 15 minutes, otherwise he can simply choke. With each attempt it has to move ahead further and further, but when it just got stuck or even began to be involved back, the cat needs to be helped. Wash hands and grease a forefinger with children's cream or vaseline, accurately enter it into a vagina of an animal, try to clasp a kitten under forepaws and help it to move at each attempt. If the fetal bubble did not become torn yet, try not to damage it. When the head of a kitten is clamped by a dense ring of a vulva – the muscle located around an exit from a vagina, expand with the finger smeared with cream this muscle, moving a finger around.
Usually the afterbirth appears right after appearance of a kitten, it is attached to it by an umbilical cord which the cat peregryzat itself after the kitten was born. When the afterbirth did not leave, it needs to be removed to clear the patrimonial way for the following kid and that the afterbirth did not remain in patrimonial ways and did not become the cause of infection. Wrap up an index and middle finger in a sterile gauze, enter them into a vagina and take an afterbirth. It is not necessary to allow a cat to eat all afterbirths is too big load of her stomach therefore just throw out what you got.
Weakness of patrimonial activity
In certain cases such pathology is explained by too nervous condition of an animal. Therefore it is very important to provide to a cat such situation during childbirth that she felt safe. For this purpose it needs to allocate in advance the quiet secluded place where there would be no strangers. In other cases too weak reductions of a uterus can speak big fatigue after the birth of the first kittens or the fact that the cat already quite old or suffers from excess weight. You just should sit nearby, stroking an animal on a stomach, massing it synchronously with fights and tenderly talking to it.
Help to kittens
If the been born kitten remains in a fetal bubble, and the cat for any reason does not release it, help a kitten you. Break off a fetal bubble hands and clean a little body with a napkin. When the kid swallowed okoplodny waters, he can not begin to breathe independently. Take a little body in a hand, bend it in half that the head of a kitten was below, supporting her. Several times bend and unbend a kitten little body that the water which got into his nose flowed out and released airways. It is possible to suck away water from a nose of a kitten by means of the medical syringe without needle or a children's enema with a soft tip.
