There are a couple of ‘complication’s in which you can intervene to help the kittens and/or the litter mother.
- Most kittens are born head first, but many can be born tail first (breech). This is not really a complication, but in some instances you may need to encourage the cat with a helping hand if a kitten seems stuck part-way out.
- When kittens seems are born but the litter mother hasn’t released them gently with a warm towel and wiping them around the nose, ears and eyes to clear any possible blockages caused by the fluid.
Any complications that are clearly causing the litter mother distrees should be dealt with by a veterinary surgeon.
