My cat is having difficulties in labour. She gave birth to two dead kittens and has to born a new one. The vet is 4 hours away and we don' t have time for that. How can I help her to give birth? How to make it faster? Please help!

There are no over the counter medications to help with labour and delivery and it is possible that the most appropriate option is a caesarean section to ensure complete and speedy delivery of any remaining kittens
