Study: Cheng-Yi Lin palm-size newborn kitten is extremely cute but also very fragile, relatively speaking, as long as one does not pay attention, it is easy to occur regret. In general, resulting in the death of newborn cat reason than including congenital anomalies, nutritional problems (female cats and kittens), low birth weight, post-production or production of the trauma (childbirth, the food sub-addiction, cat negligence harm), neonatal hemolytic, infectious diseases, and various other reasons for early death.

Killer one:
congenital anomaly congenital anomaly refers to kittens at birth or abnormal conditions occur, most are caused by genetic problems because, of course, such as X-ray or certain medications cause teratogenic. Central nervous system, cardiovascular system, respiratory congenital anomalies, often makes the kittens in the production or death within 2 weeks, while the other congenital anomalies may be completely independent action until the kittens can only be noted.

The anatomical abnormalities include cleft palate, skull defect, intestinal or colonic dysplasia, cardiac anomalies, over the navel or renal malformations, abnormal lower urinary tract, and musculoskeletal deformities; some of microanatomy on and biochemically abnormal often can not be diagnosed, it may be classified as unexplained death.

Killer 2: teratogenic effects of some drugs and chemicals
cause teratogenic effects, and cause congenital abnormalities and kittens Evidently, therefore, in the cat during pregnancy, should avoid giving any drugs and chemical substances, particularly steroids and treatment of gray mold with adriamycin.

Killer 3: Nutrition
inappropriate if fed cat food, is likely to give birth to kittens, weakness or disease, the most serious nutritional problem is the lack of cattle choline, now known to cause fetal reabsorption, abortion, stillbirth, or birth dysplasia kittens. Cause newborn kittens, the causes of malnutrition include: severe maternal malnutrition, lack of adequate maternal fetal blood supply or the placenta space competition.

Killer 4: weight
kittens, if the birth weight, lead to higher mortality rates, the current low birth weight caused by kittens, the reason is not clear, but the premature birth, congenital abnormalities or nutritional deficiencies are the Possible reasons for low birth weight not only killed six week old kittens have a higher likelihood of stillbirths and premature deaths and chronic enough to cause some kittens dysplasia, so kittens born to weighing the best, and regularly measure , until it reaches 6 weeks of age.
