The Birth
About 2 days later, it was finally time. Emilia began to scream loudly outside. I opened the door and saw that the back was completely wet and there was also a liquid on the street. I pulled out a towel; passersby had also heard her screams. A cardboard box was immediately fetched, and we went down to the garden with it. She quickly hid in the bushes, but we pulled her out so she could give birth in the clean and cozy box. She began panting heavily and was in labor. Since she is only about 6 months old and very small and delicate, it was a risk for her from the beginning. Unfortunately, it was quickly apparent that the babies were far too large for her, and the first one got stuck for a long time. One could only see the small tail sticking out and the baby was already out of the amniotic sac. The kittens are usually also still in their own amniotic sacs. Emilia pressed, but it was stuck.
I tried to reach a vet, but no one was working at that time. I even called a veterinarian in Austria to ask for advice. The vet could only tell me that she urgently needed veterinary care and that we could only wait to see if she could manage on her own.
Emilia then began to pull on it with her mouth, unfortunately injuring the kitten's tail and ripping off a part of it. But fortunately, just a few minutes later, it came to life! It might not have made it otherwise. It was much faster with the second baby. It was the three-colored girl, Melody, who was a bit smaller. Emilia was visibly exhausted and slept for a few hours.
But around midnight it became clear that the third one also got stuck and she didn't have the strength to bring it into the world. We were constantly by her side throughout the night, which helped calm her down a bit despite the pain she had to endure. We drove straight to the veterinarian in Pag in the morning, where she received an emergency caesarean section and was also spayed. The baby that was stuck unfortunately didn't make it. They were able to save the last one in the belly. However, things didn't look very good for this baby either...
