My nine-month-old female, Gidget, went into labor and when she started pushing, there was a tiny tail sticking out of the birth canal. I thought, this can't be good. She pushed and pushed and pushed for several hours and didn't get anywhere. It was late at night and I was really tired and I went to sleep and she woke me up a couple of hours later and she had a tail and two little legs sticking out. I figured that since she worked on it so long that the baby must be dead, so I helped her by wrapping the legs in part of the towel she was on ( for grip) and pulling the baby out while she pushed. Yes, she actually let me do this. The placenta was wrapped around the head, making it bigger and harder to expel. I don't think she could have expelled it by herself without giving herself heart failure. Did I kill the kitten or do you think it was already dead?
