The condition of the puppy in the birth canal usually manifests as pain and restlessness in the cat's birth. Here are some ways to confirm that a kitten is in the birth canal:
1.Observe the symptoms of cats: cats will have some symptoms during childbirth, such as abdominal contractions, mammary gland secretion, ** outflow secretions, etc. If the cat shows these symptoms, it can be preliminarily judged that it is in labor. If the cat has dystocia during the production process, it may show symptoms such as pain, restlessness, and shortness of breath, and it should be taken to the pet hospital in time.
2.Observe the condition of the pups: The pups may experience their head or body being pinched by the birth canal while they are in the birth canal, while the mother cat may experience pain or restlessness. If the kitten has not been born for a long time, it may cause fatigue and anxiety in the female cat, and it should be taken to the pet hospital in time.
3.Palpation and examination: Palpation and examination can be done to determine whether the kitten is in the birth canal. Veterinarians can tell if a kitten is in the birth canal by palpating the belly and uterus of the female cat, as well as using a stethoscope to check the heart rate of the mother cat and the heart rate of the fetus. At the same time, the veterinarian can also determine if there is an infection or other problem by examining the female cat's blood and urine.
If the kitten has not been born for a long time or has abnormal symptoms, the female cat should be taken to the pet hospital in time. Veterinarians can help mother cats give birth smoothly and ensure the health and safety of their puppies, for example, through surgery.
