Birth

Helping with the delivering

WHen a little one isn't comming out by himself and mom has a hard time, you have to help her.
Wash your hands, put some vaseline on her vulva, take the little one and pull it gently outside whenever she has a contraction.

If mom doesn't give any attention at her newborn kitten, you have to remove the membrane around the kitten and free the mouth and nose of the slime and dry the kitten with a bathing towel.
If the little one breaths, clean the siccors and a cotton wool in antisptic fluid.
With a piece of cotton thread, tie off the umbicial cord on about 3cm (1.2") of the umbilicus.

Cut the umbilical cord on the side where the placenta is. U can also break it with your fingers.
Don't pull on the umbilical cord cause you can put some damage to the little one.
Try to put the little kitton on a niple so it will get some milk from mom.
Warning by first aid:
If the head or one of the legs won't come out of the birthcanal, don't pull but call your vet.
