Cat breeding requires human help and care. Some unknown situations often occur during childbirth, the most common of which is the failure of the placenta. This is a very dangerous situation and if handled improperly, it can lead to the life of the female cat. Therefore, when we find that the cat's placenta has not come out, we should take immediate measures to solve the problem.
First, we need to understand what the placenta is.
The placenta is an important organ connecting the fetus and the mother, which can provide the fetus with oxygen and nutrients needed, while expelling fetal metabolites and carbon dioxide from the mother.
When the fetus is born successfully, the placenta should also be excreted. During this process, female cats often lick the placenta with their tongue and then expel them from the body.
If we find that the placenta is not discharged within 30 minutes after the female cat’s delivery, we need our help.
First, we need to observe whether the female cat has any signs of trying to discharge the placenta. If not, we need to take immediate action.
The following are the methods we can try:
1. Pat the cat's vagina: Sometimes, a slight stimulation can help the female cat get out of the placenta.
We can pat the cat's vagina to see if there is any reaction.
2. Give the cat enough water: Water can help the female cat produce more urine, which stimulates uterine contractions and helps excrete the placenta.
3. Feed cats to animal liver: Animal liver contains a large amount of vitamins A and D, which can help the uterus contract and promote the excretion of the placenta.
4. Feed cats to drink herbal water: Some herbs, such as small pollen, can stimulate uterine contraction and help the placenta excrete.
If none of the above methods work, we need to contact the veterinarian immediately for consultation or go to the pet hospital for help.
The female cat's failure to discharge the placenta for a long time may cause some serious problems, such as intrauterine infections and poisoning, which in turn endanger the life safety of the female cat.
While waiting for the veterinarian, we can also give the female cat enough warmth and comfort to minimize its pain as much as possible.
We can put the female cat in a warm place and always be with it, soothe its emotions and let it recover as soon as possible.
In short, when we find that the cat's placenta has not come out, we must remain calm, take effective measures, and seek help from the veterinarian in a timely manner.
Avoid unexpected situations in cats after giving birth and ensure their health and life safety.
