Methods for treating dystocia in Chinchilla cats:

1. Massage the abdomen. For Jinjila female cats that have difficulty giving birth due to weak contractions, you can use your palms to press the abdominal wall with the frequency of the female cat's abdominal contractions to encourage her to strengthen contractions and give birth to a fetus.

2. Medicinal midwifery. After massaging the abdominal wall for more than 30 minutes, if the female cat's contractions are still weak, 5 to 10 IU of posterior pituitary hormone and 0.5 to 1 mg of diethylstilbestrol can be injected subcutaneously to promote the contraction of uterine smooth muscle.

3. Traction the fetus. If the fetus has been exposed for more than 5 minutes and still fails to deliver, the exposed part of the fetus should be gently moved into the pelvic cavity, and then the fetus should be gently rotated and pulled out.

4. Cesarean section. Chinchilla cat caesarean section requires general anesthesia, and the female cat’s physical condition must be fully assessed before surgery.

Causes of dystocia in Chinchilla cats:

Symptoms include weak uterine contractions and labor, weakness, premature uterine contractions and water rupture, insufficient secretion of estrogen, oxytocin, pituitary hormone and prostaglandins, excessive secretion of progesterone, malnutrition during pregnancy, lack of exercise, obesity or Old age, infirmity and other reasons.
