Cat Forum / General Topics / May 2006New born kitten breathes out of it's mouth
My cat just gave birth to 5 cuddly kittens. 4 of them are healthy and eat. My little problem kitten won't drink from it's mother. It breathes through his mouth instead of it's nose. I been hand feeding it since yesterday. But it is still week and it doesn't show any progress. I am worried that when I go to the vet that they will put it down. It is so weak and helpless. I never saw it drink from it's mother. I tried every thing so it would latch on but it doesn't. I don't want to lose it. It is just 2 days old. >My cat just gave birth to 5 cuddly kittens. 4 of them are healthy and eat. My >little problem kitten won't drink from it's mother.

Maybe this babe's gig was up ? Hope you find a way. >>My cat just gave birth to 5 cuddly kittens. 4 of them are healthy and eat. My >>little problem kitten won't drink from it's mother.

They would only do it as a last resort to save it from pain if there is no hope. Take it to the vet. My untrained intuition says it may have some blockage in its throat that keeps it from breathing or eating properly. The vet can advise you of the proper course. -- Brian Merchant Puritanism didn't keep the puritans from sinning, it just kept them from enjoying it. --Father Joe Breighner, Country Roads It died a couple hours ago. I guess nature takes the week, but it still hurts very much. If it would have survived the night I would have taken it to the vet. It is weird, I just known it for 3 days and I miss it very much. Thanks >In the borning days of the third millennium, tinka_bell1982 wrote: >>My cat just gave birth to 5 cuddly kittens. 4 of them are healthy and eat.

I just wished I could keep all of them. It will be hard to give them away. They are so adorable. Thank you for your concern. >> It died a couple hours ago.

Thanks Sorry to hear about your poor kitty... I guess it was just not meant to happen (yet) On Tue 23 May 2006 11:35:08p, Thus Spake Zarathustra, or was it tinka_bell1982 via CatKB.com? > It died a couple hours ago.

There must have been a very serious physical problem, but it's still hard to accept.

Maybe a sinus condition? Nasal blockege? The thing i'd be concerned about is cats use their sense of smell to identify food, other cats, etc. I'd be concerned the cat would not eat it food since it can't smell it. BTW, how do you tell if a cat is breathing through the nose or the mouth? I can't tell on my cats. That was easy. It's mouth was constantly open. If it closed it, it stoped breathin for several seconds. It sounded horroable when it was breathing. It did not breath regular like the others do. I guess it had a blockage in the nose and in it's lunges. >>My cat just gave birth to 5 cuddly kittens. 4 of them are healthy and eat. My >>little problem kitten won't drink from it's mother.
