Cat birth precautions:

1. When the fetus is born, it is still wrapped in the fetal membrane. The female cat will quickly tear the fetal membrane with her teeth and then bite it. Cut the umbilical cord, let the kitten breathe freely, and lick the mucus from the fetus. But some inexperienced or nervous cat mothers forget to do it. If this is the case, the doctor needs to rupture the fetal membranes immediately, otherwise the kitten will suffocate and die.

2. If the first fetus can be delivered successfully, other fetuses will generally not have dystocia. Of course, there are also some cats who have dystocia and other dystocia in the subsequent fetus. In this case, the owner can only perform midwifery on the pet cat, and it is best to see a pet doctor as soon as possible.
