zaynar

6am - zaynar had her first kitten - a gorgeous blue spotted boy. 9am - we delivered zaynars second kitten - a gorgeous blue spotted boy. it was about 11am when we were making the decision to ring the vet to arrange a section - zaynar collapsed in a heap - very tired, and bleeding quite a lot from her rear. By the time we had found a vet suitable to carry out a section and arranged to go, and replaced the phone, zaynar suddenly stood up and pushed with all her might - out popped a deformed kitten mix placenta - this was obviously were the blood was coming from. we quickly rang the vet and cancelled our emergency. then we waited, and we waited, and we waited. Zaynar laid on a fluffy blanket on my knee for lunchtime, and most of the afternoon. 4pm - zaynar had another kitten but this time it was dead, and showed signs of having been dead for some time. This is the sad part of breeding when things go wrong. Zaynar is very tired but happy to cuddle up to us and have a rest. we now wait for the next kitten. Some cats take longer than others to deliver their kittens and when they have dead kittens inside, the queens loose some of the urge to push out kittens, so it takes time and patience, and lots of love and care to get them through it. We cuddled zaynar for the next few hours and she delivered a lovely blue spotted boy, but she was very tired, and couldn't deliver the placenta. We decided a "c section was neccessary as she found this last kitten nearly immpossible to deliver, and there was obviously something left in her as well as the placenta from the last kitten. The vets were very good and whilst carrying out the "C Section" they also neutered her. Zaynar will now live her life as a much loved pet.
