- Signs of dystocia in cats
The gestation period of cats is 52 to 69 days, often longer than 60 days. Newly born cats are more likely to have difficulties and their symptoms are different. Some female cats do not eat or eat less, urinate frequently, produce more urine, and reduce the frequency of urination. Or they may continuously look back at the abdomen from the turbid red and smelly liquid, lie and lie down, and infect the tail and hind legs; some female cats often lick the vagina with their tongues, kick their abdomen with their backs or often slide on the ground. ; Some females have significant abdominal interruptions and are punished for up to 2 hours without kittens entering.

Adoption of first aid methods
·Massage the abdomen
Excessive fertility, lack of training, too many fetuses and other causes of uterine flaring lead to weak abortions and dystocia in female cats. The frequency of interruptions with the palms follows the sow's abdomen, pressing the abdominal wall, and pushing it forward with heavy weight from the light. Strengthen the interruption and get out of the fetus.
·Regulating and assisting with childbirth
After the abdominal wall was massaged for more than 30 minutes, the fetus did not break out, and 5 to 10 IU of pituitaryin and 0.5 to 1 mg of ethinyl estradiol were subcutaneously injected to promote the disruption of uterine smooth muscle. The fetus can consume successfully.
·Traction of the fetus
If the fetus remains exposed for more than 5 minutes and still fails to explode, the female cat should lie on its side and place her left hand on the cat's shoulder. The right hand should hold the exposed part of the fetus and gently move it into the pelvic cavity. Then the fetus is quietly transformed and turned outward. Unplug.
·Fat production makes it difficult to save ribs
Insert the vaginal canal with your fingers. The cat's eyeballs do not change, but are inserted into the mouth (no sucking direction) or into the anus (no interruption). The vaginal canal is stained red and withered with infiltration. The female cat is placed in Baoding (common). Lying naturally) and use a thick finger tube to be sent through the vulva to the cervix, cross the outer tube to a funnel or 100ml syringe, and add 2% to 5% saline solution (add 0.2 to 0.5g chlorhexidine) Inject into solution to drain out of itCat's vagina (usually 500/800ml), stillbirth can resolve itself within 5 hours. Hypertonic saline creates a hypertonic state in the cat's uterus, inhibiting the absorption of uterine parenchyma, and chlorhexidine disinfects and prevents endometritis. A number of treatments have a lubrication effect that can promote uterine disruption.
·Caesarean section
In the case of uterine twitching, cervical obstruction and cat pelvic enlargement, abnormality or uterine division, non-surgical cesarean section occurs without using the fetus. However, if a female cat suffers from a serious disease and cannot produce a fetus, those who are not suitable for surgery should try non-surgical methods of assisted delivery.
·Supine Baoding
Rehabilitation of head, hands and feet. Using the last nipple as the midpoint, cut forward and backward along the midline of the abdomen. Generally speaking, 0.5% Acacia infuses 15 to 20 ml of Acacia. Surgical recipe: cut the skin and subcutaneous structures, abdominal wall muscles and peritoneum, pull out one side of the uterus at the corner, cut the uterus (4-6cm) at the greater curvature, and pull the fetus along with it; in turn, pull out about Lateral uterine horn and pull out the fetus with all the fetus. Suture the uterus, peritoneum and abdominal wall layers.
For cats, the benefits of neutering them outweigh the risks. Of course, if it is a rare and valuable purebred cat, the owner can also let the cat grow naturally if the owner has the conditions.</p> </p>
