Precautions for cat delivery:
1. Keep a distance: keep a sufficient distance from the female cat, do not invade her space or hinder the birth. When an accident occurs, the owner can Show up promptly.
2. Pay attention to disinfection: The owner should use disinfectant when touching the cat's hands. Rub soap from the back of the hand to the wrist. The time on the hand should not be less than five minutes to avoid disinfection with disinfectants.
3. Take care of the cat’s delivery: When the female cat enters the cat’s nest and starts giving birth, the owner should keep calm and avoid any disturbance. The time between births of kittens will be between half an hour and an hour. If there are any abnormalities in your cat’s delivery, please contact your veterinarian promptly.
4. Clean fetal membranes: The mother cat will lick the kittens vigorously to remove the fetal membranes. The kittens should move and breathe within a few seconds. If the mother cat does not remove the fetal membranes from the kitten in time, disinfect her hands immediately, wear gloves, open the fetal membranes on the kitten's face so that it can breathe, and then wipe the kitten's face clean with a clean dry towel .
5. Check the placenta: Every kitten has a placenta, which will be excreted after the kitten is born. Pay attention to record the number of placentas, because the placenta left in the female cat's body can easily cause infection.
6. Do not cut the umbilical cord: Because the umbilical cord and the placenta are connected, the placenta may still be in the female cat's body. Cutting the umbilical cord without authorization may lead to infection and death of the female cat.
Prenatal manifestations of cats:
1. Cats will urinate frequently and are not very active. Restlessness, poor energy, decreased appetite, and even not eating.
2. One day before the cat is born, the rectal temperature will drop by about one degree, so be careful to keep the cat warm.
3. If you find that the cat's body starts to tighten and appears to squat in the cat litter, this means that it will give birth soon.
