Hiya. I can try and help.

Re: how to help my british shorthair give birth?

well my cat will be 6 weeks pregnant around now and we've had her checked by the vet - its a definate!

i'm worried cos she doesnt enter her nesting box but loves it when shes in there and because i've never had a litter before. she's quite small for her breed and manages to bump into stuff so im worried if she only has 1 or 2 kittens then these kittens will be hurt :-/

Re: how to help my british shorthair give birth?

oh i thought she was giving birth now!

was she mated to anolther british was he alot bigger?

my british shorthair had a terrrible birth and nearly needed a c-section, she had 4 very big babies and sadly one passed away at the birth, no idea why he was perfect, i was on the phone to the vets in tears at the time and they said it happens. luckily she manged to have all of them on her own and was a good mum.

Re: how to help my british shorthair give birth?

ok


this isnt the emergency i was worried about then!


1 - she probably wont choose the kittening box you have set aside for a while yet. Often queens prefer to give birth to the first kitten elsewhere, and then you can move it and her into the box of your choice.

2 - she should be on a really good quality food right now

3 - ask your vet about suitable worming and flea treatments for during pregnancy and for the kittens once they arrive

4 - make sure you have some time booked off work at aorund the due date

Not sure what advice your after but these are the very very very basics
