QUOTE(dreign @ Sep 16 2016, 06:33 PM) Congrats. the mother cat do all the work after i left her alone for couple of hours. I have no experance but here are some info: After your cat has given birth, mum will normally bite through the umbilical cord, but your help might be needed again if she doesn't. With clean hands or wearing disposable gloves, tie dental floss around the cord about 2 inches away from the kitten's body, tie again a further inch away from the kitten and cut the umbilical cord between the ties. Don't cut it too close to the kitten, as this may cause danger to them. Long ends on the thread can be chewed or swallowed by mum, so make sure they’re trimmed! If you notice the mother trying to chew too close to the kitten, stop her and do it yourself. If you are worried about this part of the birth, consult your vet well in advance to make sure you are happy with what to do. https://www.purina.co.uk/cats/key-life-stag...nd-giving-birth http://www.thecatproblems.com/how-i-delive...line-owner.html   QUOTE(spunkberry @ Sep 16 2016, 10:47 PM) also, please spay your cat afterwards. going to. i wonder how many months after giving birth should i spay the cat? also, what is the minimum age for spay? |
