Answer
Hi Kim,

This is tough. I can only give you advice here. It could be another kitten in her or the placenta that she feels. If it has been over 24 hours since she gave birth and she is in distress she needs to go to the vet. If you can still feel something in there then she needs to be taken to the vet. If she has kittens in there and she doesn't birth them they will kill her. I can't help you anymore than this. Her vet will be able to tell right away. Good luck.

Ciao, Karen
