Re: Minni is in labour - some help please

Hi!

I helped all 5 of my girls kittens out... 2 were breach. Take hold of the kitten and try to ease it out...if the head stays in the birth canal too long it can suffocate.

This happened to one of mine...it wasn't breathing when it came out and appeared dead, but I recussitated it by holding it face up in my palms (head at finger end) and swinging my hands downwards quickly a few times - this method helps clear lungs of fluid.

Hopefully Minni has managed on her on by now? How are things going?
