My mother cat delivered kittens ten days ago; tonight I suddenly noticed rapid breathing and pale nose and lips, which started after guests came over.

A cat’s rapid breathing and pale nose and lips are considered to be caused by a respiratory infection, but may also result from weather changes, a poor environment, or malnutrition. It is recommended to check whether the cat’s paw pads, ears, and mouth have turned pale; if so, it may be caused by anemia. The owner needs to find the specific cause based on the actual situation and take effective treatment measures for the cat. If the cat keeps showing these symptoms, it is best to take it to a veterinary hospital for examination promptly; the veterinarian will determine the cause and formulate the best treatment plan through physical examination and other necessary tests such as blood and urine tests.

My rescued mother cat shows signs of labor and I've seen her strain with contractions, but she hasn't delivered for three days, won't eat, only drinks water, and vomits. I can't afford a C-section — what can I do to help her? →
