How to know when my cat is having trouble with labor?

She is very healthy, and well taken care of. I saved her when she was 12 weeks old and about dead. She is an inside cat and she is very loved.

she may be having problems because it is her first pregnancy. I have assisted in a few litters and have never heard of a labor taking this long. you should really consider taking her to the vet asap! hope I helped

I’ve had multitudes of litters and sometimes it takes a long time…however, if you’re concerned, then don’t hesitate to call the vet - they will often give you advice right over the phone.

By the way…many cats prefer to be with someone when they’re labouring.

if she hadn’t produced even one kitten in 15 hours of labor, you better get her to the Vet. Yes, having kittens can take a long time…but that’s counting from kitten #1 to the last kitten. It is NOT normal for her to be in labor for 15 hours without a single baby. You’re liable to lose her and the ktitens.

I am a trainee vet nurse and your story definatly causes concern. It sounds as though your cat is slowing her labour due to problems giving birth,usually the reason for this would be one of her kittens may be in the wrong position. The brown liquid was the “amniotic fluid”. If you feel her stomach in labour you should be able to feel the kittens. If you cannot feel the kittens then you definatly need to brong her to Emergency animal hospital. SHe could be just experiencing a dificult first pregnancy as many animals do

Good Luck
