It sounds like you are witnessing a protrusion during your pregnant cat's birthing process. This could be part of normal labor, but it may also indicate a complication that requires attention.
- Check for signs of distress or pain in your cat
- Observe if the bubble-like protrusion changes or worsens
- Monitor her behavior and any additional symptoms
During labor, a bubble-like protrusion can be the amniotic sac or even part of the birthing process, where kittens are on their way out. However, if there are any signs of distress or the labor is not progressing, it could indicate a complication such as a stuck kitten or uterine issues. It is important to observe your cat closely and consult with a vet if you have any concerns.
Book a consultation with a licensed vet at Dial A Vet for just $49 AUD if you're unsure or symptoms are getting worse.
