Chapter 672: Birth

The birth of life is a magical and solemn process, and Fina, who is defiant, also stared wide-eyed, showing surprise more than once.

"That...that is clearly the tail of a mouse, how could it be the tail of my cat clan!" It expressed disbelief, and glared at Zhang Zian fiercely, "If you dare to fool me at this time, be careful that I don't care about you!" Hand it over to Snow Lion!"

Zhang Zian was even more helpless, "That is indeed the tail of a kitten's cub. The cub is so small and slender, completely different from a kitten or an adult cat. You see those chubby giant pandas on TV, are they big enough? Giant pandas The cubs that are born probably look like mice to you..."

"Is this true?" Fina was dubious.

"Of course, if the cub is too big, it will be difficult to give birth." He took out disposable rubber gloves from the medicine box while talking.

"What are you doing with this?" Fina stared at his hand, feeling ominous.

"We may be in trouble." He explained truthfully, "Generally speaking, it's better for a cub to come out with its head first, but it's better to come out with its tail first..."

Like human babies, cat and dog cubs should come out head first. If the tail comes out first, the limbs are easy to get stuck, causing dystocia.

If a human mother encounters this situation, I am afraid that it can only be solved by caesarean section, but it is not necessarily the case for female cats with more flexible bodies. Having said that, Zhang Zian still had to prepare for the worst.

He wiped the scissors clean and soaked them in alcohol to disinfect them along with the cotton thread.

To be honest, he was also beating drums in his heart. He was not sure whether the scissors would hurt the kitten in the stomach, after all, he was not a professional veterinarian.

It would be great if Sun Xiaomeng was here, and the female cat would be sent to her clinic in case of danger, but she has already returned to her hometown, and most of the other nearby pet clinics or hospitals are probably closed.

Time passed by, and the cubs that had not yet been born made the female cat realize that something was wrong. She stared back at the space between her hind legs, hesitated for a while, and tried to lick it. Add lubrication.

Now it was Fina's turn to be restless, she had no choice but to turn around in place.

Every time the female cat contracts, the cubs will come out a little, but then they will return to the mother's body, which makes people feel anxious.

"Hey! Are you just looking at it like this? Why don't you go and pull the cub out?" It had an idea and suggested.

Zhang Zian shook his head, "No, you can't pull it casually. The cub is very fragile, and its muscles and bones are not formed. If you pull it out hard, it will easily cause the cub to be paralyzed... Let's wait a little bit, don't worry."

"Don't worry? You said it so simply!" Fina said angrily, "It's not like you are giving birth!"

Zhang Zian explained: "You don't know, the female cat's delivery process usually lasts for a long time, and sometimes it can last for a whole day. Although the cub is born backward, only the tail has come out, and we don't need our help. , let’s wait and see if the hind legs can come out smoothly.”

He took out a tube of Kaiserlu from the medicine box, which is the kind of medicine used to treat constipation. After cutting it open, he slowly moved it near the female cat.

The female cat stared at him and Fina alternately, then put her head between her hind legs to lick.

Zhang Zian waited for its movements to come to an end, gently pulled one of its hind legs, put a few drops of kaiselu near the cub's tail, and spread the kaiselu evenly with his hands wearing rubber gloves. The lubricating effect of the cat is much stronger than that of the female cat's saliva.

The effect of kaiselu is almost immediate, as the female cat's contractions, one of the hind legs of the kitten comes out, followed by another.

Fina was not content to watch from a distance, it also moved to the side, nervously observing the delivery process.

The female cat instinctively used some force, turned over and licked it a few times, and then used some force again, while Zhang Zian dripped two drops of Kaiselu from time to time as lubrication. It doesn't matter even if Kaisailu is eaten by cats. Anyway, the main ingredient of hair cream and the like is glycerin.

The body of the cub is gradually exposed. Different from the chocolate color of the female cat, the body color of this cub is darker, which is because the body is covered with a layer of film.

"Why is it motionless? Could it be dead?" Fina asked anxiously, referring to the cub.

"No, don't worry, I can't see anything now." Zhang Zian asked him to calm down.

The female cat continued to work hard, and most of the cub's body had been exposed, so there was no need for Kaiselu at this time.

The two forelimbs appeared one after another, and the great work was about to be completed. Fina's nervous mood finally relaxed a little.

However, at this critical moment, the cub seemed to be stuck again.

The female cat tried again and again, but the cub's head remained in the mother's body and did not appear for a long time.

Zhang Zian didn't wait any longer, he raised one of the female cat's hind legs with one hand, and gently held the cub's body wrapped in film with the other hand.

"What are you going to do?" Fina asked, "Didn't you say you can't pull it?"

"The situation is different now." Zhang Zian stared at the connection between the cub and the female cat, "Now only the head is stuck in the body, if you continue to wait, the cub may be suffocated by the card!"

He didn't dare to use too much force, but he couldn't help but hold the cub's body and slowly pull it out.

The female cat seemed to know that he was helping it give birth, so she stopped turning around and tried to lick it, but kept contracting her abdomen vigorously.

Zhang Zian's body lightened suddenly, and the cub's head was pulled out.

He quickly let go and checked the cub's condition.

The female cat turned over and looked over. When she saw this black, blood-stained and unusually smooth little guy, she was stunned for a moment, at a loss, as if she didn't understand that this was the baby born from her body.

The cub is covered in amniotic membrane and is connected to the female cat through the umbilical cord and placenta.

The female cat hesitated for a while, then lowered her head and stretched her mouth towards the cub.

Zhang Zian raised his heart, this is the time to test the female cat's motherhood. If the female cat opens her mouth to bite the cub, he must stop it in time; if the female cat just sniffs but does nothing, and leaves as if nothing happened, he must tear off the amniotic membrane covering the cub’s mouth, otherwise the cub will die. asphyxia.

Fortunately, the female cat just poked out her burly tongue, licked open the amniotic membrane for the cub, and licked up the amniotic fluid on the cub.

The cub, breathing fresh air, wriggled and woke up. Although its eyes hadn't been fully opened, its cuteness had already begun to appear. It called in a low voice, as if it was calling its mother, but also as if it was saying hello to the world, its voice was not like a cat, but rather like a bird.

Fina finally relaxed, "It did a good job and deserves a commendation."

Zhang Zian stared at the female cat's belly, "It's not time to celebrate, but it has more than one cub in its belly."
