Can Cats Have Cesarean Sections? A Comprehensive Guide

Certainly! Here's the revised text with enhanced clarity, precision, and a more engaging, empathetic tone:

For instance:

① If a cat experiences intense, prolonged labor lasting 20 minutes or more, with strong uterine contractions and pushing efforts, yet fails to deliver a kitten, it's a cause for concern.

② If a pregnancy extends beyond 65 days, it's advisable to have a checkup to assess the health of both the mother and the fetus (or kittens).

③ Continuous discharge from the vagina, whether dark red or bright red, should not be overlooked.

④ A fever in the mother cat is a sign that requires immediate attention.

How to care for a postoperative mother cat?

① Administer painkillers and antibiotics strictly as prescribed by your veterinarian. It's crucial to ensure your cat receives all the necessary medications.

② Provide a quiet, undisturbed space for the mother cat to recover. Avoid any unnecessary interruptions during this time.

③ Keep a close eye on the wound for signs of redness and discharge, as these may indicate infection.

④ Use a head collar to prevent the cat from licking the wound, and consistently apply disinfectant to maintain cleanliness.

⑤ Monitor the mother cat's and her kittens' mood, appetite, and bowel movements. If a kitten does not defecate within three days, this is an abnormal sign that requires attention.
