Answer 1

hi

i got worried about Golden Syrup as she showed no signs at all...right up until the kitten popped out..and then the kitten dragged itself out she showed NO itnerest whatsoever in getting ready.

I would not go for the c-section myself. I would assume the dates were slightly wrong.

My vet wanted to do one mid labour as she went 5 hours between kittens but as it was going to cost £1000/$2000 we declined and then another hour later out popped kitten number 3...then 4, then 5 and finally 6 it was a looonnnnggg night.

they are 13 days old and almost all have open eyes now!

How certain are you as to her dates? could you be wrong by a couple of days? remember women can go a good 2 weeks overdue safely and a c-section is major surgery i would seriously try to avoid- give her a couple more days!

If in doubt, I always follow professional advice.  Do as your veterinarian suggests.  Chances are very good that s/he knows much more about this than you or I or anyone else who may answer this question online.
