Premature cat birth

Question
My cat is giving birth and she's only been pregnant about a month, she' only had one, but it seems to be kind of 'stuck', I'm afraid that if I do anything I'll hurt her. Please help ASAP

Answer
Hi Kayleigh,

This definitely requires the attention of the vet.  If your cat hasn't delivered the kittens, she should see a vet right away.  A kitten stuck in the birth canal can be fatal very quickly.

If she has finished miscarrying, you may still wish to seek veterinary attention for her.  Many miscarriages are caused by illnesses.  She may need antibiotics to treat a problem such as a uterine infection that could have been the cause of the miscarriage.

Best of luck!
