At Lóleo Eventos, gestation of cats, as in all mammals, ends with childbirth, a very special moment in which maternal and fetal hormones interact. Gestation in cats lasts around 65 days.
Usually the births They do not bring any problem, although on occasions the intervention of a professional may be necessary, with manual, pharmacological or instrumental intervention.
Labor induction or a series of maneuvers including the use of forceps may be necessary. It can also happen that this ends in a cesarean section, which seeks to extract the kittens through a surgical opening in the abdominal wall and in the uterus.
Cesarean section can have a preventive or therapeutic purpose. It should be carried out in the case of very large puppies or in cats that have a tendency to have dystocia births. Therapeutic cesarean sections are performed when problems appear at the time of delivery and it is not possible to leave the cats by other means.
The number of caesarean sections a cat can have varies, It will depend on how the female is, or the way the surgery was carried out. In many cases during the intervention an ovariectomy or castration is carried out avoiding the risks that said surgery implies.
Hello, my cat had a cesarean, she could not have a normal delivery, the problem is that she does not want to eat since then for two days she only drinks a little water, what can I do to make her eat?
Hi Adelita.
Try giving him wet cat food, which is much more fragrant and tasty than dry. You can also give him cans of tuna or boneless chicken broth.
However, if she does not want to eat anything, it is important to see a vet, otherwise her system could start to fail.
Greetings and much encouragement.
Hello Deyanira.
It depends on the country you are in and the prices the vets have there.
In Spain, for example, it is around 300 euros.
We recommend that you contact a nearby vet and ask.

Hello, my cat is Persian and the vet tells me that in a week he is going to perform a caesarean and sterilization ... I am worried about how the kittens will suckle with the mother's wound and the antibiotics that he will surely take to heal ... that do you recommend me?
Hello Mercedes.
In this case, and for the sake of the little ones, I would recommend that you take care of feeding them with a syringe without a needle or with an animal bottle. On this article has more information.
Anyway, when in doubt, you can ask the vet.
A greeting.
Hello, I have a cat who had a cesarean section 9 days ago.
How long is it advisable to wait for her to be pregnant again? Taking into account that she is already looking for a cat.
Hi Jordi.
Cats recover quickly, but I recommend waiting at least two to three months for the wound to heal properly.
A greeting.
My cat had a cesarean section yesterday the doctor told me that he could give her serum but she vomits it and her kittens rejects them but if they suckle, what can I do
Hello Castro Figueroa.
It is normal to feel sore and a little listless. But today the 4th should start to eat something, for example, wet cat food. If it does not, the most advisable thing would be to consult with a veterinarian.
Kittens will want to be with the mother, but if she is not fit, they may need someone to bottle feed them. On this article explains how to care for newborn kittens.
A greeting.
Hello, my cat had a cesarean section today. It's been 9 hours and she's still super lost, she doesn't feed the kittens or anything. What I can do?
Hello Micaela.
It is normal for him to be like this. When you expel all the anesthesia, you will wake up a little more. But if nothing has improved to date, consult your vet.
With regard to kittens, if they have not received food, you can give them replacement milk for kittens that they sell in veterinary clinics or pet stores.
A greeting.
Hello to my cat, they did the surgery 7 days ago, I want to know how long it takes for the wound to heal. And how do I know it's okay and not have to worry about
Hi Yufer.
The wound will surely have started to heal by now, but until another week has passed I don't think it will heal completely.
If you don't lose your appetite and can relieve yourself, everything will be fine.
A greeting.
Hello, yesterday my cat had a caesarean section and sterilization at the same time. It had to be an emergency intervention since it had been two days since I had given birth to two dead kittens, I was swollen and the vet told me that the rest of the kittens had to be removed. In the end they told me that they found no pups and the obvious swelling I had was due to retained urine in my bladder. But they charged me as separate caesarean section and sterilization procedures, is that correct? I would like them to absolve me of that doubt since they did not carry out other tests. Thank you.
Hi Shaiel.
I'm not a veterinarian and I can't tell you.
In principle I would say yes, that is normal, since they are two different things, but no idea.
I hope your cat improves soon.
A greeting.
my cat could not give birth so they did the cesarean and they also castrated her but and 5 hours have passed and the cat has already woken up but she is still wobbling and she does not want to stay in bed with the kittens she stands up and comes out all wobbling What I can do ?
Hello German.
It is normal that after the operation the cat feels bad and wants to be alone. As the hours go by (and especially the days) you will feel better. Anyway, kittens cannot go without food for a single day, so if their mother does not feed them, it would be advisable to have someone take care of it. On this article we talk about it.
Greetings.
Hello, my cat had just had a caesarean section but unfortunately the kittens were already dead, she spent two days voting blood I thought it was normal until this morning she wanted to give birth and could not when I realized that a baby's paw looked like And he was stuck, it was at that moment that I took him to the vet and they had a cesarean section.The doctor said that the pups were with their intestines out in the belly of my cat, now he is at home but he does not move at all my question was how much longer She will be able to move after she was transferred, the vet told me that it would take about 2 hours but more time has passed and nothing reacts
Hello Elena.
How is your cat doing? We hope it has improved.
We are not veterinarians, but we trust that he will recover as soon as possible.
