partial birth

Question
She's birthed only 1 after 4 hours of trying but I can feel 2 more in her other horn. She seems to desperately want me to massage her, contractions appear to have stopped and it's now morning & 11 hours later. We have no money to take her to the vet, it's a choice between feeding my family at the end of the month or taking Cleopatra to vet. How long & hard should I massage her? I understand you are not a vet, but I am DESPERATE to save my baby!!

Answer
Hi mommiebear,

I can give you some info but you really need to get her to a vet. Ask your vet about making payments or bartering with him. In today's climate they are willing to work with you. This is a very serious situation. Here is a link that explains what you can try to do. But I don't recommend this. But I understand your dilemma.  And if you do this be extremely careful. This comes down to a life or death situation for your cat. Please try to get her to the vet. Here's the link.
