Cat Postnatal Care

Although the postnatal emergencies are less frequent, not for it they stop being something to bearing in mind. Both the mother and the newborn kitten are exposed to the infections. These also are in risk of being left if the cat is inexpert or is scared. Very rare times the mother trembles or shivers because of a low level of calcium in the blood. If this lack does not treat it can turn out to be fatal.
