Cut the sack open immediately.

Each kitten, as we mentioned, is born enveloped in a protective skin sac, transparent and filled with fluid. When the kitten starts through the birth canal, this sack sometimes is forced through first, the result being that the water forms a sort of blister-like protrusion before the kitten appears. Sometimes the force of the queen's contractions makes the bubble very full of fluid and prevents the normal progress of the kitten through the birth canal. Should this occur, pinch the bubble, or sack, between the nails of the thumb and the first finger (you can also use a thin alcohol prep or a piece of sterile, dampened gauze) to break the sac gently. This allows some of the "water" to escape, and the kitten should then come rapidly as the pressure from the bubble is relieved.

Break open the sack either with fingers or gently with scissors.
Rub the kittens vigorously.
Hold them with both hands on either side of chest / head facing away from you and swing your arms down towards the ground this will help get muck out of nose and throat.
Blow gently into their mouth and nose like you are puffing.
Ty and get to a vet where they can give dopamine to stimulate respiratory system.
I really doubt they will be savable but give it a try, we have had pups we worked on for 2 hours then called it quits then 10 mins later seen them breath and they have made it so worth trying.

Why would you allow your cat to get pregnant and then refuse to learn anything about delivering kittens?!?!?!? What is wrong with you!?!?!?!?!?
Call a vet right now and tell them what is going on. They may help guide you through this. You should have been prepared for this. Get the momma cat fixed as soon as the vet says it's ok, and the surviving baby fixed at 6 months. And for heaven's sake, bring them inside!!!

why don't you take them out of the sacs? check and see if they are alive, check for a heart beat and if they are alive call a vet immediately and see what youshould do, they will give you advice, but you better do this immediately

Quickly, remove the sack...hold each one upside down (that isn't breathing) in a towel, and RUB THEM ROUGHLY! Don't be too gentle. You're trying to stimulate them. After 3 hours, I doubt they're alive, but it's possible. You can give it a try. Good luck!

no, and they need to be taken out or you need to call a vet immediately, the sac already broke, and they suffocated. Call a vet NOW!

They cant survive in that sac!! They are probably dead, if you want to try to save them, you must cut the sac!! My mom had to do that, but she did it immediately
