Cat midwifery methods:

1. Massage the abdomen to midwife

If the cat is obese or lacks exercise, resulting in inability to give birth, the fetuses will be counted. For female cats whose uterus is flaccid, causing weak contractions and dystocia, use the palm of your hand to follow the frequency of the female cat's abdominal contractions and press the abdominal wall from light to heavy to encourage her to strengthen contractions and give birth to the fetus.

2. Medicinal assisted delivery

When the female cat with weak contractions and dystocia is unable to deliver a fetus after massaging the abdominal wall for more than 30 minutes, subcutaneously inject 5 to 10 IU of posterior pituitary hormone and 0.5 to 0.5 of diethylstilbestrol. 1mg, to promote the contraction of uterine smooth muscle, the opening of the cervix, and the smooth delivery of the fetus.

3. Traction of the fetus

If the fetus has been exposed for more than 5 minutes and still cannot be delivered, the female cat should be placed horizontally, with the left hand against the cat's shoulder and the right hand holding the fetus. The exposed part is gently introduced into the pelvic cavity, and then the fetus is gently rotated and pulled out.

4. Cesarean section

If the owner is inexperienced, the female cat must be sent to the pet hospital for caesarean section in time.
