A first time mother has eight (!!!) kittens, one stillborn and the other having a physical deformity of the chest, 6 seem absolutely fine.
Are sick/stillborn kittens more likely with first litters?
Are the 2 ill/dead kittens to be expected in a liter of this size, especially for a first time mother?
Do the ill kittens indicate in any way that there is a genetic problem or most likely due to unusually large litter and probability of sick kittens in first litter?
Thanks
