Labor stopped

14:33:30

Question
I have a queen who is 5 years old. She went into labor around 1AM this morning. She was panting and meowing and seemed really uncomfortable. I let her be and now it's 12:42PM the next day and she seems to of stopped. She is not crying or panting or anything. I never saw any contractions or discharge. I know her water has not broke yet. My question is should I be taking her into the vets?

Answer
Amy,

What day is she at?  Was she in major about to give birth labor? or Was she just having fairly mild positioning contractions?  

If she should be having kittens, I would get her to the vet.  You do not want to let her go past day 68!!!!!!!!!!

Please let me know what happens.

Best regards... Norm.
