Chapter 674 Danger
Although Zhang Zian was very sleepy, his nervousness and excitement kept him awake, and he closed his eyes to listen to the female cat's movements. When he heard the licking sound in his ears, he opened his eyes in a jerk.
Looking sideways, he saw that Fina seemed to be asleep, and hesitated for a moment whether to wake it up, but in the blink of an eye, seeing that the third cub's tail came out first, and it was aborted again, he woke up Fina, maybe will need its help.
The cub appeared to be larger than its two siblings, and the female cat meowed one after another in what sounded labored and distressed.
Bigness is not a bad thing, big cubs tend to be stronger when they grow up, but it is more difficult for the female cat who gave birth to it.
The female cat stared at him as if asking for help, then stuck her head between her hind legs and kept licking.
Zhang Zian immediately supported the floor and stood up, lubricating it with Kaiselu.
One of the cub's hind legs came out first, but the other leg was delayed and seemed to be stuck in the mother's body.
The bloody liquid continued to flow out of the female cat's body. The female cat's cry became louder and louder, and her body twitched from time to time, appearing to be in great pain.
"Oops! The amniotic membrane may have ruptured in the body." Zhang Zian said nervously, "This situation is very dangerous. If it stays in this state for too long, accidents may happen to both it and the cub."
"What? What should I do then?" Fina was also nervous, "Pull the cub out?"
"Not for the time being, I can't just pull it like this...I want to help it straighten the cub's position and let it grow outward again." Zhang Zian observed the female cat's legs, this was the only way he could think of. If the cub is forcibly pulled out, it will be difficult for the cub to survive, but if this continues, both mother and child may die.
He stared at the female cat's abdomen, counting her breathing rate in his mind. When it inhaled, the cub retracted a little, and when it exhaled, the cub slid out a little more, but the other hind leg got stuck and couldn't slide out completely.
He put his hand behind the cub's buttocks and tried to push the cub back inside the cat as she inhaled again.
This action may have hurt the female cat. It let out a shriek, shrank its body violently, and even wanted to change its posture and stand up and jump out of the cardboard box.
"Meow!"
At this critical moment, Fina yelled at it to stop it, making it silent. It stopped resisting in an instant, and obediently returned to its original position.
Zhang Zian took advantage of this moment,
Push one hind leg of the litter back into the female cat.
The female cat was in less pain, but also almost completely exhausted, lying powerlessly on her side in the cardboard box. It was short of breath, and tilted its head to look at Zhang Zian, with tiredness and gratitude in its eyes, it seemed to have understood that he was helping it, not hurting it.
The delivery room was too hot, and Zhang Zian was very nervous, sweating on his forehead.
He wiped the sweat that almost flowed into his eyes, "Fortunately, thank you for being here, otherwise I would have been in trouble just now..."
"Hmph, needless to say?" Fina curled her lips in disdain.
"Tell it to change position a little so that the stuck cub can come out at a different angle," he said.
Fina meowed a few times, and the female cat changed into a different posture as she said.
Zhang Zian applied more ketone near the cub's tail, followed the breathing rhythm of the female cat, and massaged its stomach from top to bottom. As the contractions came again, the cub's hind legs were squeezed again It came out of the body, but fortunately this time it appeared on both hind legs at the same time.
The cub was really big. Both hind legs were born, but the butt got stuck again. The female cat's cry was full of pain again.
"I'll pull it out."
Zhang Zian decisively decided that he couldn't wait any longer, and gently held the cub's hind legs and tail with his hands wearing rubber gloves... But a problem arose, his gloves were stained with a lot of blood, they were very slippery, and he couldn't hold them at all. He had no choice but to tear off another piece of clean gauze and place it in his palm to increase the friction.
He silently followed the rhythm of the female cat. When the female cat was exerting strength, he would pull it out a little, and when the female cat was panting, he would stop for a while. The bigger cubs were pulled out.
The female cat was so exhausted that she didn't even have the strength to lick the amniotic membrane off the cub. She lay on her side in the cardboard box, her eyes flickering anxiously at the motionless cub.
Zhang Zian peeled off the amniotic membrane covering the cub's snout, but the cub remained motionless, not even opening his mouth to breathe. Its labor process lasted too long, and the amniotic fluid broke prematurely again, which was not good.
He wrapped the cub in a tissue and hurried to get the hot water he had prepared in advance.
The hot water in the thermos has dropped to between 40 and 45 degrees. He poured the hot water into a small basin, held the cub's head with his hands, and put the cub's body into the hot water. He maintained the cub in this position with one hand, opened its mouth with the other hand, inserted the cotton swab prepared in advance into its mouth, and sucked up the amniotic fluid in the mouth.
"Massage its back for me."
He couldn't make a move, so he could only ask Fina for help.
"But..." Fina, who has never been fearless, showed a bit of timidity. She is not afraid to fight head-to-head with other cats, but she is not afraid of this situation. "It's not that I'm afraid of getting my smell..."
"I can't control that much now, let's revive it first!" Zhang Zian urged, "Quick, massage its back from bottom to top."
Under his urging, Fina stretched out a front paw and pressed the cub's back carefully, "Is that so? Will the force be too heavy?"
"No, the strength is just right."
Following Fina's movements, the amniotic fluid in the cub's lungs was squeezed out, and its body suddenly moved and let out a creak.
"Are you ready?" Fina wanted to withdraw her paw.
"Not yet, continue."
Zhang Zian changed another cotton swab and continued to suck the amniotic fluid in the cub's mouth. Three or four wet cotton swabs had already been thrown on the ground.
The female cat stared at them closely, pinning all her hopes on them.
After two or three minutes like this, the cub's crying and wriggling were intermittent, which made people worrying.
"Stop first."
Zhang Zian had no choice but to use the last move. He called out to Fei Na, put his palms together, held the cub in his palms, and then slowly closed them so that the cub was covered by him like a cage from head to toe except for the tail. Cover your hands, then straighten your arms, swing them up and down, and use centrifugal force to shake out the stubborn amniotic fluid in the cub's lungs.
This action is very dangerous, because the cub is very big. If a girl with small hands cannot hold the cub's body in the palm of her hand, the force of the swing may break the cub's neck or spine.
If it was shaken two or three times, Zhang Zian felt the cub's violent wriggling in the palm of his hand, and after coughing up a stream of amniotic fluid, it screamed very loudly.
"All right."
He breathed a sigh of relief, spread his palms, and saw that the cub was able to breathe on its own and was out of danger.
After changing some hot water, he washed off the smell of Fina on the cub, dried it again with a paper towel, and put it in the arms of the female cat.
The exhausted female cat sniffs it, pulls it up to her chest, and lets it drink, indicating that she accepts the kitten as her own - if not, she risks pulling it...to Outside the cardboard box, fortunately, this situation did not happen, otherwise Zhang Zian would have to artificially feed the cub.
Zhang Zian was sweating all over, and Fina was sticking out her tongue from the heat. Their previous sleepiness had completely disappeared, and this night was still very long.
"Continue to rest, wait a while to see if the birth will continue." He leaned against the wall, closed his eyes and meditated.
Fina did not doze off, she stared at one of her front paws, lowered her head and sniffed, the smell of a cub remained on the pad. It looked at the cub again with a different look than before, and it always felt that there was something invisible connecting them together.
Saving people... No, it's the feeling of saving cats, which is really good.
It looked sideways at Zhang Zian's profile, this incompetent mortal is not so useless sometimes...
