Cat spay in pregnant cat procedure?

First they would anesthetize the cat and go along with a typical spay. Without assistance, the kittens die and are thrown out in bio waste. If you're thinking of doing this to your cat, i beg you not. When I was working at an animal shelter, seeing dead kittens in the garbage is really sad, and it messes with the mother cat. Most of the time, the mothers get stressed and will cry for her kittens for hours, or even days. If your cat is pregnant, please wait till she gives birth and send them to local animal shelter.

I am a veterinarian, improving this answer. So this person works at a shelter. Really? How many cats are euthanized there? How many come in every day, and how many are adopted? I worked at a shelter too, we spayed pregnant cats all the time.

Let her have the kittens and bring them to a shelter? The shelters are full, they can't accept more. Kittens get homes, adults get euthanized because there are too many kittens and no one wants the adults, who stay in shelters sometimes for months.

Stress? Not really. Most mother cats do not even miss their kittens, and act completely normal.

At my practice, we euthanize the kittens in the uterus, after it has been removed from the mother. That is humane. Bio waste is not garbage, and the babies will not be found in a land fill.

Please don't post answers when you don't know what you are talking about. And please ask veterinarians, not lay people.

There are too many ways to really answer. Like humans, it is possible for a kitten to pass in their sleep. Often, a kitten will simply die after birth due to health defects.

If it is loud, and yowling while it is dying, that only means that the cat is in agony, or suffering in some way. If it remains quiet, that merely means that it is able to handle that pain or suffering, until its death.

I have a jealous cat over a new puppy. What should I do to help with the situation?

Usually kittens will get on better when introduced with a new puppy than a mature cat, but if this happens its easiest to give the cat and dog their separate spaces and let the cat decide when it wants to meet the puppy, or at the very least just tolerate it.

Added: Because the cat was there first you must establish the role of the puppy. To the cat the puppy is low, and depending on your relationship with the cat, either you or the cat follow. Always show the cat FIRST affection. That is when the puppy and cat are in the same room, coo and pat the cat first then the puppy. Ignore if the puppy tries for your affection. A puppy right now wont understand exactly but the cat does. in time the puppy will realise the cat gets first priority, this makes the cat happy and also understand that you have accepted the puppy into your group. In time the cat should too. If the cat hisses at the puppy don't punish the cat and don't grab for the puppy, this is seen as you defending the puppy and the sudden movement of the puppy may cause the cat to react aggressively. if the cat swipes the puppy, again do not interfere. The cat is showing the puppy the ranks. Animals will not normally harm extensively a baby animal being introduced to the famil group. As an owner of 8 cats and having to introduce one puppy and 1 yearling dog to them, I have watched first hand the reactions cats make. The biggest order of business to them is: Rank.
