C-Sections

If a cat had a C section for the last litter - does that means her chances are high that she will need one again with future litters?

I do know of cats that have gone on and had kittens fine the next time. Think it depends on why they had to have the
c-section

Never had to have one yet, touching everything wooden in sight!!!, but have to agree with Selks as they can be required for so many different reasons

Hmmm its just that my girl Ginny is pregnant and she had to have a section last time - and wondered if it was something i needed to look out for if chances were high that it could be a repeat performance.
She had 10½ babies but only 3 survivors

I have tried to get hold of her breeder the last few days but i know she is really busy - and anyway it only just occurred to me the other day to even think about it

Ahhh, bless her, wow 10 thats a lot poor lass. If it's because the birth canal is too small, then chances are she would need another. A friend of ours had to have cats c-sectioned because they were very overdue, so most likely they won't need one next time.

She has had 3 litters before that tho Selks without any probs - so it cant be the birth canal.
Maybe it was just cos she was overdue??

Anyway i will let you know once i get hold of her breeder

Ahh, rt, I think she should be fine then hun But yea, best speak to the breeder, she will hopefully put your mind at rest

Yes, that's right it would depend on why she needed a c section. I had a girl who needed one with her first litter but it was because she didn't dilate quick enough, she had her second litter normally.

Hopefully it was just a bit of a fluke needing the C-section and all will go smoothly next time.

Personally if a girl of mine needed a section I wouldn't breed from her again just incase. But that is just me.
