After the cat becomes pregnant, the cat shovelers will be eager to see the moment when the kitten is born. But all the shovelers, do you know what signs are there for a female cat who is still born? Let’s learn about it together.
Can a female cat be discharged from a kitten?
The female cat cannot be discharged from a kitten. Therefore, when the female cat is about 62 days pregnant and has not yet given birth, it is necessary to take the female cat to a pet hospital for an ultrasound examination to check the fetus' heartbeat. If the fetus is found to have a stillborn baby, the owner must not consider letting the cat discharge the stillborn baby by itself, because it will easily lead to sepsis over time. At this time, you should discuss a caesarean section with the pet hospital and remove the stillborn baby.
What to do if a cat has a dysfunctional birth and stillbirth?
If a cat has a dysfunctional birth and stillbirth, the owner needs to inject the cat with an appropriate amount of oxytocin to help the cat excrete the stillbirth as soon as possible. If the cat still cannot discharge the stillborn after injection of oxytocin, it is recommended that the owner take the cat to the pet hospital for a caesarean section in time. If the stillbirth is not excreted in time, the female cat's uterus is very prone to infection, and diseases such as uterine inflammation and even uterine pus accumulation.
How to determine if a cat has a stillborn baby? If the fetus does not produce death in the uterus and is not removed in time, the female cat may be in danger of life. Fetal infiltration will cause the endometrium to begin to decompose the stillborn, causing the female cat to absorb a large amount of toxins. In a short period of time, the female cat will experience depression, hunger strike, drinking a lot of water, fever, sepsis, and death from shock. Therefore, for safety reasons, it is recommended to take the cat to the pet hospital for B-ultrasound and X-ray examination to rule out the possibility of stillbirth.
