I am so sorry to hear that Atsushi is so uncomfortable. It sounds like she could be in preterm labor. This can be very serious. The kittens will not survive this early, but it could also be life threatening for Atsushi. Please have her seen by a veterinarian immediately. A c-section may be recommended in order to save her. Best of luck and I hope she does well. Thank you for using Pet Coach.
